User blog comment:Anglophilebg/Community Colleges discriminating against PhDs?/@comment-67.251.23.73-20100818162914

I'm not sure it's a question of CCs discriminating against PhDs as much as it is a question of PhDs inundating CCs with apps as the market for jobs at 4-year colleges shrinks. A 4-year college and a 2-year college have very different goals and often serve very different communities. Someone with a research degree is often quite unsuited to the needs of a CC. Were there jobs at the 4-years few PhDs would give CCs a second look. For that matter, when CCs hire PhDs they also hire that PhD's cultural expectations of what a classroom or students should be like, in addition to expectations for greater pay.
