An addendum to Gunnar's summary of the pragmatics of the situation in the US as a result of the learning death sentence made by the CAA (notice the lack of D), is that pesky people from Euro-Anglo-Kiwi-Aussie institutions are increasingly gazumping Nth Americans for design academic positions because they, zombie-like, have post-terminal PhDs. In my experience, these same ghostly people get admin and curriculum leadership positions because their experience with quality-assured government-funded university systems mean that they are adept at learning-outcome driven teaching using criteria-based assessment, processes that are only just now being mandated by accrediting bodies like Middle States.
