Reply #14: How divorced from reality can these admin fucks be? [View All]

Honestly, don't these administration fuckers ever get it? You pay your grad student a grand a month, and then charge them 1500 dollars every four months for tuition? Not every grad student lives with mommy and daddy...most of them are from outside the city. You would think people would realize that a starving grad student is obviously not going to work as well as one who is well fed and can go to a movie once a month.

Many of the grad students I know have actively encouraged others into not attending grad school. There are real repercussions for not keeping your students happy..and the universities are feeling it. Grad enrollment is wayyyy down...and the stupid assholes at the top scratch their heads and wonder why nobody wants to do research anymore.
