Oh man, thank you so much for reminding me about that fic, it's been TOO LONG since I reread it!

til that, while I never did read His Dark Materials until college, Phillip Pullman apparently wrote one of my most favorite childhood mystery series and I just never remembered who the author was??? AMAZING WORK HERE MEMORY, I HAVE NO NOTES 😂

Right? Like just IMAGINE the compounding interest if they were even able to save like 5% of those funds every year toward their endowment. NO WONDER HARVARD/YALE/ECT HAVE SO MUCH MONEY NOW

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS ON COMPARISONS TO FUNDING OF PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES AT THIS SAME TIME. Like I knew various DoD projects funded universities at an insane rate during the Cold War, but JFC!! (From The Monsters We Make by Rachel Corbett. It is very good, I'm just reading it very slooooooowly)

Is this every graduate program in the US? No, it's not, but culturally it IS the majority of them, and the bigger programs are the worst offenders, so starting with a reduction in the number of students that they can exploit (in whatever way they're currently exploiting) is a necessary start.

Set (sansets) @sansets.bsky.social · 4d

but having fewer students will actually free up resources to do that. And most STEM programs have an equally insidious problem of grad students being cheaper, so they keep folks from being able to work on their dissertations intentionally so that they'll have a source of cheap labor for longer.

And until we can get PhD students to start being OPEN to non-tenure track jobs, graduating more PhDs than there will ever be positions for them is what's fueling much exploitation of adjunct positions in non-STEM fields. Yes, we need to educate about what you can do with a PhD in a non-STEM field,

Set (sansets) @sansets.bsky.social · 4d

is exploitative, because it's all about the University's bottom line and not about the students' well being. It also leads to a weird arms race in credentials that makes people think that going into debt for a masters program that won't pay for itself in most fields is somehow a good idea.

Set (sansets) @sansets.bsky.social · 4d

Why is this an ethical stance? 1st of all, I find it really gross that every school I've ever worked for has called masters programs the "money makers." Call me old fashioned, but I think that admitting every minimally qualified student, even ones we know are probably not able to complete a masters,

Set (sansets) @sansets.bsky.social · 4d

Every graduate program in the US that admits more than like 5 or 6 students a year should reduce in size by at LEAST 50%, preferably 75% for most masters programs. (5 or 6 is arbitrary, but it should be single digits for sure.)

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Starting episode 4, and while all three of them still look the same to me, I now have one to root for, because I have a crush on his girlfriend 😂😂😂 (A tall pole dancer who loves Halloween? Obviously the man has great taste!)

Oh man, that might be even better than the scam text I got from a number in the Philippines about not having paid my toll on the Ohio Turnpike. Firstly, I DON'T OWN THE CAR YOU'RE REFERRING TO ANY LONGER. Second I never drove it on the turnpike, you guys are BAD AT SCAMMING.
