Grant more PhDs per year, while reducing the cost of education to the student. Grad student stipends are often meager, assuming you even get funding.

- robertlagrant 5y agoThat's not more productivity, that's more effort.
- jldugger 5y agoWell, it's the same amount of "effort" -- you supervise the same number of students, they just graduate faster. And most department metrics Ive seen measure PhDs granted as an output.
- robertlagrant 5y agoAh yes, in terms of number of PhDs you can chuck out, fair enough.
