Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I think the lack of desire to teach is a country wide problem for universities in the US. I think it's more apparent in the humanities because a teacher can define their opinion as "right" and put very little effort into educating students on the topic since they can just grade less harshly if they need to keep a certain pass rate on their students. On the other hand there is a much larger proportion of STEM work that is right or wrong and a teacher can't just pass students without it becoming obvious to the department that the students coming out of Professor N's classes have no grasp on the topic, and so they are forced to teach more skills that are useable in any class or jobs that touch on that subject
