I wonder if students who are less financially secure end up shying away from programs perceived to be have a worse "ROI."

Currently philosophy faculty are overwhelming white (https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.apaonline.org/resource/resmgr/data_on_profession/fy2020-demographicstatistics.pdf), so the overrepresentation of children/grandchildren of faculty also perpetuates racial underrepresentation.<br /><br />This "feedback loop" hypothesis might be true alongside a separate "leaky pipeline." But maybe we should not theorize only about a "leaky pipeline," which emphasizes that certain people exit the field. Part of the explanation may be a "well-oiled pipeline": being awarded a PhD program or faculty position is very competitive, and it's easier to succeed from certain backgrounds, and with certain connections.<br /><br />See also: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/6wjxcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
