The department I graduated from failed to recruit any graduate students for the second year in a row. This means there won’t be any graduate courses taught at all in the next year.
The people who applied to the program this year were of inferior quality than usual (says the department) and those who were admitted declined the offer. This is weird given that the program has one of the most generous compensation packages on the continent (i.e. in the entire world.)
Yale Daily News gives an explanation but it’s so idiotic that I don’t even want to repeat it. I think the problem is that the program is outdated and needs urgent revamping. But that’s just my take on it. Who knows what prospective students are thinking.
