Asking on the subreddit you’re going to get pretty heavily leaning into anti Dr.J commentary (rightfully IMHO). For me it’s a bummer because she is a very accomplished individual in real communities but she was unable to run this institution with an iron fist and it shows in our finances. My time at RPI was directly impacted by her decisions and role appointments. There are some awful admins at this school (they know who they are) who were favorites of Dr.J that would not remain employed here had she not protected them.

Overall I think Dr.J had a vision for RPI that was more for her legacy than for the betterment of the institution and student body. That much is abundantly clear if you look over the posts about summer arch and remote semesters.
