Opinion | Alumni and graduate students see a hostile takeover of a storied department. https://chroni.cl/4j99Pcj

As a PhD student in computer science, the kind of knowledge production that is being "innovated" away here is exactly what departments like mine could use a lot more of.

This is a real loss for CMU.

No one wants to watch their PhD program be eliminated. It’s nearly the same story when it’s “innovated” away.

Incredibly proud to have participated in this article

As the last PhD student accepted into the LCS program, I continue to feel the impact of these decisions

Carnegie Mellon’s literature PhD is being liquidated in favor of “computation,” casualized labor, and AI.

That has profound ramifications for, students, faculty, and program alums like myself.

I wrote it about it (w/ Catherine Evans, a current PhD student).

i touched drano earlier and i still can only slightly feel my fingertips

i think the gbbo judges really need to stop being so biased towards dylan like its actually upsetting how much they overlook his missing pastries and low quality nougatine structures

found out my program will start taking phd students again but under a new name

really hoping we can get it to be Culture, Literature, and Institutional Theory

the vibes here are like going to a club with all the lights on
