Your expectations of faculty are way too high

My university only cares about having students on campus for football games, not for classes.

Don’t complain about the football coach’s buyout. When we deny your tenure, we still pay you for a year to be bitter and make all the faculty who voted against you uncomfortable at work.

Faculty to Students: What do you mean you didn’t know? It was clearly stated on the syllabus! Faculty to the College: Nobody told me I had to fill out that form or sign that paperwork or turn in that request, how was I supposed to know? Nobody reads the handbook! /1

I can't say much positive about my dean, but at least she can't be blamed for the collapse in Afghanistan.

Being a department chair is an important first step to becoming a faceless bureaucrat. I look forward to seeing you at the next meeting! We'll be arguing about university parking...
It will never happen, but what about @Jillbiden46 for Sec of Ed.?
Reasons to be happy: a new Secretary of Education. Get the fuck out, @BetsyDeVosED. I hope my kids can recover from the damage you’ve done.

That’s been my favorite part of the last few days. The slow turning of the screw. The writing on the wall. The slow car wreck of it. Had it been fast, his temper tantrum would have been fast. But this was more fun.

At my work, covid has been the greatest thing that ever happened to the safety officers, they have unlimited budget and authority to put tape and signs everywhere, control everything everyone does, tell people where to stand, sit, walk, how long it takes to get in uniform...

Precisely. There is no one screaming "we must have women's field hockey!" in the Fall. It always was and always will be, first and foremost, about money. I wish academic administrators would just admit it instead of acting like faculty are too dumb to figure it out.

Please tell me you responded with something similar to "and that kids is what we call scum. You'll recognise it by the way they throw temper tantrums for rightfully not getting what they want. "

If she’s willing to say that to the assistant dean, imagine what she’s saying to her students!

It never fails. 3 hour faculty meeting on a friday afternoon, and those 3 people always seem to have new business to bring up at 4 PM. FFS, it is Friday.

You need to meet my friend, Burbon. Burbon always finds a way to make these meetings enjoyable.

I don’t understand academics who teach so many students of color and know how much of their lives are affected by systemic racism in our own community, and yet remain silent on the injustices we face here and around the nation. Do better, colleagues. Do better.

So I need a response and RT if you are willing. My financial advisor just began a facebook post with, "I just love President Trump. He is a good person who loves Americans and America..." with no evident irony. Should I fire this person and find a new financial advisor?
92%Hell yes, fire them.
8%Keep them.
