Security software engineer by day. Privacy researcher, occasional lecturer, sometime-linguist, writer. This is my grown-up account. Opinions still mine.
Left the birdsite because enough is enough.
I post infrequently with this identity, but wanted to leave out a signpost.

So I'm about to take the brave step of moving all of my highly opinionated accounts to the same place, meaning I have to take ownership of being a Doofus in all aspects of my life XD
New, equally inactive account at @kristamonster :)
So long, and thanks @jerry for all the fish ❤️
@krinnyj That wasn't her experience, it was mine - I was referring to the article she posted about the need for changes in how academic programs are managed.
But I do hope there will be change. I've since left academia, but my experience was at a Big 10 school with similar issues to what you describe - its "excellent reputation" was probably the worst thing about it. They were obsessed both with maintaining it, and thought it made all of the things that were broken irrelevant.
I got a much better education during my undergraduate years at my state's urban institution by *far*
