Education bubble? What education bubble? Yale and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation are teaming up to pay the salaries of recent Yale PhDs to teach at other colleges:
Among strategies under consideration is a cost-sharing plan whereby Yale would pay part of the salaries for recent Yale Ph.D.s to teach at small liberal arts colleges and other universities within a a two-hour driving radius of New Haven. With this pooled funding, Yale could increase the number of post-doctoral fellows it supports, and the fellows themselves would find new teaching opportunities and gain pedagogical experience.
