“The humanities and social sciences at most universities are not scholarly endeavors. “
I could not agree more. It’s long past time to give different names to degrees in these joke studies areas. Any STEM grad knows that they undergo far more rigorous studies in order to obtain the B.S.

Apologies to all of those who studied lib arts during the times when it was a demanding academic discipline. As we say to Muslims, “clean your damned house” if you want respect.
Very true. Not all PhDs are equal but you can bet your bottom dollar that a legitimate Professor of Mathematics is paid the same as a Professor of Women”s Studies. This is what happens when you worship the god of diversity and “fairness”.
In 1964, the average SAT score of freshmen admitted to UMass-Amherst was 1050. Then they “re-normed” the SAT score by adding 200 gratuitous points. The average SAT score now is 920, or 720 before “norming.”
