The following are three forms of subsidies: 1) Schools are non-profits everything they do is subsidized. 2) Student loans subsidize schools. 3) State schools have in state subsidies. If a professor is writing and researching, that is time and focus not spent teaching. If tenure is granted primarily on research, teaching suffers. To those who think the status quo is fine, I ask: Are we in the correct balance of teaching and research in the humanities? If yes, how did we get there? And if there are strong cases for humanities research, why not more? My opinion is much of what appears to be advancement of knowledge is really a system of misplaced incentives. You see this in teaching loads and overproduction of qualified humanities faculty relative to high school teachers.
