You're entirely correct. Academia is broken is so many ways. A lot of my colleagues are wastes of space and some are indeed harmful. I don't think I'm a great advisor either. No one teaches us how to advise students.
My take is based entirely on facts of the article interpreted through an advisor's lens rather than that of a journalist trying to get clicks.
- amrcnimgrnt 5y agoYou know what, I owe you an apology for this: "[1] I'll admit it's a bit weird to see a professor that I'm assuming given the forum, is in a tech field "read between the lines" instead of engaging the facts." I'll keep it up in my comment because I despise it when ppl scrub clean what they wrote. Either way, sorry for making it personal.
- queuebert 5y agoHN is the best people. Thanks for the apology and no hard feelings here. And I'm sorry if you had some bad experiences in grad school. Some of us, at least, are trying to be better.
- wolverine876 5y ago> a journalist trying to get clicks Now you've also fabricated something about the journalist, their motive and character. Do you have any factual basis for that? What do you know about the journalist?
- ablearcher83 5y agoThe fact that the advisor in the OP changed their stories multiple times indicates duplicity. Your inability to see that, coupled with an abrupt allegation against the journalist suggests self-deception
