why indeed
Jane Galt asks: "if you think that we should equalise the distribution of income, why do you not think that we should equalise the distribution of PhDs?"
Since so many members of academe are on the left of the political spectrum, that's a damn good question. If you agree with socialist philosophy, then you must agree that merit has nothing to do with tenure. If one is a leftist professor, then all of one's students should get the same grades, regardless of merit. After all, if socialism is their ideal for economics, then it should also be their ideal for academia as well.
