But they've been increasing tuition like crazy too right?

~4-6% every 3 years according to http://oir.yale.edu/node/108/attachment

Apparently that gets spent on all kinds of things, just not the actual education the students need. At >30k a year you could really expect that they would hire enough real teachers.

The lack of professors may also be caused by the whole "world-class researcher" fetish. You don't need ninja rockstars to teach intro CS.

It seems strange to me that schools can have folks with titles like "Dean of Community Outreach" but they feel compelled to wring cutting-edge research and excellent teaching out of the same people. I'd like to see the proof that world-class teachers and world-class researchers are the exact same set.
