It's not a 'crisis.' That's absolutely absurd. Just like there is no 'crisis' for finding good engineers. These are simply made up ideas by industries not willing to pay market rates. Yes, there's a 'crisis' if you're underpaying by a factor of 2-3x. There is no crisis, just a bunch of cheap executives unwilling to pay what it takes for talent, as always.

It _is_ a crisis if there are not enough faculty to handle the number of students. The solutions are simple (admit fewer students or hire more faculty) but not easy (students could go somewhere else so as to be admitted to their preferred major; it might be difficult to hire faculty at current pay rates).
