its brutal even if your not a phd, apparently universities would rather not hire them, instead try to use part timers instead, so they can avoid giving them benefits. the ones that are currently hired, are male dominated soon to female but that would take decades. and these professors had thier careers set when they were hired 20-30+ years ago when there was significantly less competition in the stems, and so few people went to college in the 80s, 90s.
It’s a tough dilemma. Takes a PHD to understand the tenure track.
