How Greed Ruins Academia

It is a circular argument. There is no reason for an intelligent person to pursue a PhD in Pakistan. The people who end up doing that are normally looking for the 'stipend' HEC gives. I personally know a few persons who couldn't get a decent job in industry and joined the PhD programme.

The professors at the universities have had no incentive to be productive in research and effective in teaching since they were not remunerated properly for that. Now with a new wave of PhDs and tenure system coming in, they feel insecure and do what the article suggests.
