3. But here’s the twist. It’s not driven by a sudden decline in job prospects—but a (largely mistaken) shift in how those prospects are perceived. theatlantic.com/education/arch…
4. The charts are striking. But there’s stunning stuff in every paragraph of this @benmschmidt story on the crisis of the humanities. I won’t try to summarize it. You really need to read the whole thing: theatlantic.com/education/arch…
