I think changing the PhD system is a great target, but how can you identify that as the culprit without changing the professoriate/tenure system?

  That system has already changed. Tenure tracks are largely phasing out as older professors retire. They are being replaced with part-time adjunct teaching positions, supplemented by big name researchers that bring in grant money and institutions can write marketing articles about. Those big names are not incentivized to stay by a tenure system, as they can easily accept positions at other institutions or in private industry to continue doing their research.

    Can you give me a few examples of major universities that have moved/are moving to this system?
