I will probably never be allowed to teach drawing or painting at the BFA level, because I do not have an MFA. My professional experience, my successes in teaching, my very ability to get solid results are nullified by my lack of a $30,000 piece of paper. It literally has nothing to do with art - it's the requirement as laid down by a Board of Directors that makes this so.

I've run into exactly the same thing. Academia respects only academic credentials. Gotta set aside
some jobs for all those MFA grads who can't draw, I guess!
