So if you can replace a costly senior classicist with a lower paid junior computer science prof at a time of shrinking classics enrollments and rising computer science enrollments, that’s a double win for the administration.

Since hiring for CS faulty faces strong competition with industry for people with PhDs in CS, would a junior CS faculty necessarily be less expensive than a senior classics (or other subject with little industry competition to hire) faculty?
