I'm a tenure track professor at a second tier university. Should I apply to PhD programs to improve my chances of moving to a better university?
That's a good point. Do you think it's worth taking time off from my current position to pursue a PhD?
That would depend on your personal circumstances and how much time you can commit to pursuing a PhD while still working. You may want to consider part-time or online PhD programs to make it more manageable.
