This is really going to be university/department/situation dependent. Unless you are a professor at a top school/department you likely are not going to have highly qualified PhD candidates lining up to to research with you, most professors have to just take what they can get. Unless a PhD candidate is truly disastrous I believe the professor still gets way more benefit than the stipend is costing them.
- amichail 5y agoHow is this ethical? What does the PhD student get from this?
- scantis 5y agoThere is a monetary compensation in most fields. Even though the PhD student might be bad, it is all his doing and choices, he can freely learn new skills and develop himself. Even a horrible degree can lead to a comfy job. It depends on the field, in chemistry it looks like exploitation in engineering it's totally different. In art, languages, etc getting paid to learn is already a cherry on top.
