What's the ethical pitch to prospective grad students these days? Something like "We'll pay you a menial wage for 6 years so you can earn a vanity degree while providing important university labor. 1-in-5 may get a TT job (that won't fund the lifestyle it once did)"? https://twitter.com/dbessner/status/1353014419693817859 …
I'm ok with that, but we need to be honest to ourselves and our institutions about what we are doing an append "for rich kids" to the end of the statement because that's what it means.

Honestly, this may just be my hobby-horse, but I think that's an argument we need to take to the public: for X money, we can have a history-for-rich-kids. For X+Y money, we can have a history for *your* kids.

Do you think that will sway people? I’m all for whatever works. I just feel like that’s not particularly compelling to people, especially to get them to either raise taxes and/or public funding for higher ed (enough that there are more TT jobs).
