Humanities sugar daddy
So, the governor of Florida to set up a task force for higher education, they decided to humanities major science for more than a college education. Florida, the idea is that the more technology gradient, humanities graduates less and more expensive to get their humanities degrees, so that the students choose science, mathematics and technology, rather than. They call this "market-based", but the basic economic reality of ignorance is staggering.
Higher education is a harsh truth, some running in some of the classes of the profits and losses of the run, and cheaper, more-profitable class is used Underwriting just as the educational needs of the curriculum, but cost more to run. Larger to help pay for the the smaller introductory course to help pay for a state-of-the-art in the "hard" disciplines, such as science and engineering classes and "soft" subjects, such as English, history, anthropology help pay.
This seems counter-intuitive to some scholars, inner philosophy, scientific Where's the money, compared to Latin poetry or sociology assumptions conduct classes and science classes, and more profitable. However, partly because the STEM graduates on average earn more money is more expensive than humanities graduates in STEM teaching engineering professor professor of higher salaries than the classical. Laboratory science (including computer science, of course) also require expensive laboratories and equipment, and most humanities courses only require a textbook (its price students rather than university assumes). Really STEM fields bring more external grant funds, but the grant funds are largely eaten, you must be established in order to apply for a grant of laboratory facilities.
The question: "How can the humanities to pay for their own it?" Ignores the fact that, humanities not only for their own underwriting scientific. However, ignoring the fact, does not make it go away. If Florida did not manage to move large numbers of students out of profits, turn to a humanities class, to break through, even - or less science class, it's possible, many public budget of the University of Florida in the United States will go in flames constitute a significant challenge.
This is, of course, assumes that they can enter their math and science courses to all students. Part of the "market-based solution to ignore the fact that schools in Florida is actually part of the market they compete with a large number of students from other schools in the market means that you do not get to set prices unilaterally.
English majors will simply go somewhere else. This is how markets work. A humanities degree at high prices, does not prevent the pursuit of that degree. It will only encourage them from your competitors, rather than you buy it. If it is too expensive majoring in history, history majors at the University of Florida, who wants to go to a private university, or to leave the country.
Florida decided to do is equivalent to saying, "I'm tired of customers to buy hamburger instead of lobster I will do twice as expensive hamburger lobster" If you do so, you will not sell more lobster . You just lost a customer. They would go across the street to a restaurant, the lobster is much cheaper for the same price, and Hamburg. On the other hand, you do have what some customers will order lobster, you must purchase expensive wholesale prices, rather than less so much of the ground beef, wholesale. Your restaurant will happen very quickly, especially if you have to use all the Hamburg profits to subsidize the lobster business.
However, eventually the idea in Florida, a relatively new version of things occurred in American universities for decades, as an administrator, to fund other priorities have become increasingly demanding high profit margins from the humanities. At least 25 years of college has increased profits, cutting humanities budget, trying to spend less and less of these classes, and these courses bring income to maintain stability and development. They reduced the number of full-time teachers in these areas, and more and more non-paying part-time teaching, when push comes to shove cut several disciplines in the humanities, such as foreign language instruction, require a higher overhead. Cut costs and the prices are increasing only an intensification of the normal strategy Slam piggy bank to open two different ends.
The University does not cut humanities humanities budget, is not profitable. They cut off the cultural budget, because humanities is profitable, and schools want to squeeze more and more profit. This is one of the few places to make money. The school is always hungry for more.
