Posted on: Well-prepared students quiz governor’s staff chief

These kids (at least the ones who aren't poor, anyway) will probably be admitted to decent schools and never set foot in Nevada again. Good for them, bad for us.

Posted on: With that pay, no way, many would-be graduate students tell UNLV

One wonders what knock-on effects this has on undergraduate education. As most undergraduate courses are taught by undergraduate teaching assistants, a lower quality workforce presumably affects the quality of instruction.

Of course, as is often the case in latter-day America, the iron glove of the market rules all: the reliance of research universities on graduate teaching assistants leads to an oversupply in graduate students, lowering pay and producing an abundant supply of non-tenure track adjuncts to teach the remaining share of courses not taught by TAs.
