Can confirm. My PI didn't review anything. Sent their journal reviews to students and told us to sign their name at the bottom. Straight up told us to falsify our results on more than one occasion (I refused). I reported them to admin. Admin didn't investigate, didn't even contact the witnesses I named, and gave the professor tenure. This was at UT Austin about ten years ago. Academia is broken.

  I wouldn’t dare in their place. Academia is tiny.

    I know, I'm in academia. But this silence is why these things keep happening. PIs hold power over their students to keep them in line, through letters of recommendation to networking and post doc/job offers. We need to work to correct that.

      Imagine how much research is held back/misguided because of this... I'm happy I'm out tbh, a good r&d team seems so much easier to work in.

    Damn, academia needs a #me-too moment. I find this vaguely reminiscent of Hollywood's casting couches.
