The supposed value of a humanities degree from Harvard?
OMG…this was my first thought on reading this article “Harvard Asks Alumni for Help With Humanities MOOC” published in yesterday’s Chronicle of Education. [I've just read it as I'm a little behind in my reading.]  Wow is my response….and I’d agree with  ssaulvolk, one of the commentators on the article called who wrote 10 hours ago “Good news for adjuncts who thought they were at the bottom of the academic barrel! Harvard has come up with an even lower category. Kudos to the university with the GNP-sized endowment.”
YES! Clearly Humanities graduates either need to be underpaid, undervalued and they are cheap i.e. free for service. What Harvard has indirectly stated is that people with degree in the humanities have little or no value. Why? Well, they’re clearly willing to work for nothing according to Harvard!! One has to wonder what value does a PhD in the humanities have? Clearly, not much. Way to go Harvard in setting the bar for the manner in which people with Humanities PhD and degrees ought to be treated. You’d hope that perhaps the university would be far more politer, less judgmental to its faculty and students, and alumni but obviously they’re’ worthless. If this is the case…what about the rest of us??  (I didn’t get my PhD from Harvard just in case you’re wondering.)
