本帖最后由 winding5657 于 2010-7-13 10:45 编辑 The argument is well-presented, but not thoroughly well-reasoned. By learning the example of Bronston College, where both male and female professors are happier living in small towns when their spouses are also employed in the same geographic area, the chairperson suggest that Pierce University should offer employment to the spouse of each new faculty member they hire. The suggestion seems to be logical. However, the chairperson fails to offer enough evidence to prove that the studies he cites are reliable. It is entirely possible that the studies are basing on just limited quantity of people or through unscientific ways, in which situation the conclusion of the studies reflects the reality. The studies cited also fails to explain the relationship between whether their spouses are employed in the same town and whether they are happier to live in the small town. Maybe the both just happen at the same time. Other causes may result in their living in the small town more happily such the improvement of air condition. Besides, the studies have no ability to prove that offering employment to the spouse of each new faculty they hire would attract the most gifted teachers and researchers to their faculty and improve the morale of their entire staff. As we can imagine, the suggestion only offers employment to the spouse of each new faculty, it's likely the old faculty may have a idea of its unfairness. The chiarperson forgets to make a comparison about the situation between the Bronston College and Pierce University and the places they locate. Maybe there exists large numbers of differences in the two places and professors in the Pierce University don't care much about whether their spouses work in the same city they are in. It's entirely possible that the condition of teaching and reseaching is so poor that even though they offer the chance of employment to their spouses, they will still not choose to join the university. The suggestion also neglects the cost of offering so many employments. Maybe the chance of employment is quite rare, the huge costs of offering so many employments could not bring about enough benifits. What's more, even when the professors are happier living in the places, it provides no evidence that they will offer a better teaching or researching, in which situation the suggestion has little meaning. I would also take other factors that may have influence on attracting the professors to the university into consideration. Does the promotion of salary works? A better condition of teaching and researching works? I would also think about other feasible suggestion which may turn to be more efficient.
