[lbo-talk] The closing of American academia

[Jordan Hayes]

>> One American research university offers its PhD students
>> a salary of $1000 per semester for the "opportunity" to
>> design and teach a course for undergraduates, who are
>> each paying about $50,000 in tuition.

Doesn't this "deal" usually include tuition and fee waivers?  I'm not 
sure the math is exactly right here.

And also: I don't think universities are the first to follow the guild 
system.

PhD student: roughly an apprentice, no?
