MBA vs. PhD

The Teresa Sullivan saga at the University of Virginia reveals the looming rift at universities - MBAs vs. PhDs.
The MBAs from Darden School seem to have led the charge against Sullivan. The academic side is up in arms over the move.
The future won't be so friendly to the PhD side. The money will not be there.
The MBA side knows it, and is trying to plan for that.
I like the thought of this being a battle between short term thinking (the MBAs) and longer term thinking (PhDs).
But in the long term, we'll all be dead.
And in debt.
