academia is a broken system that doesn’t work very well for anyone involved in it
It works extremely well for administrators and professors with tenure, who are the exact constituencies most in favor of stasis and least in favor of change or experimentation.
- michaericalribo 7y agoMeh, it works well enough. I’d ask Napolitano or the UCSC faculty whose grad students are striking if it’s working extremely well for them. Grants are scarce. CA negotiated a single contract for grad students across nine different campuses all over a huge state, and no one seems happy with the outcome...sure I’d rather be chancellor, but ‘extremely well’ is a stretch
