There's ~4000 accredited universities just in the US. Even just the top 1% is 4x what you're thinking.
I think the problem with the statistic is that it points to tenure-track maybe not being meritocratic.
- wolverine876 5y agoHow does it indicate that it's not meritocratic? We're talking about the top 1,000 schools (!). Is there even a ranking that will name school #1,000?
- ABeeSea 5y agoI don’t see that at all. If a research professor can’t get a job at a top 250 school, it likely means their research isn’t impactful. Which makes it hard for them to mentor/advise graduate students towards generating impactful research. It’s a feedback loop on some level.
