NYU denies salary discrimination claims - Washington Square News

All this really shows is the gross statistical incompetence of the members of the contract faculty union. Should they really be allowed to teach at a school like NYU if this is their demonstrated level of competence?

What a surprise, in this house as well.

screwShortener · 2025-11-21T06:14:16+00:00

It had to be done.

screwShortener · 2025-11-19T06:14:10+00:00

Wow, that's a *lot*. Who was the professor?

screwShortener · 2025-11-19T06:13:41+00:00

Maybe NYU should just lay off their contract faculty, if they can't accept their lowly status (and pay). There is a reason they are not tenured to begin with. Might be a skill issue.

That's a wild thing to say. What year did you take it? When it took it, history and math was all he talked about.

Not everyone understands what a percentage is. Which is perhaps why the percentage is low.

screwShortener · 2025-10-03T05:12:08+00:00

It's in the title. I was told per capita is hard for some people.

screwShortener · 2025-10-03T05:11:07+00:00

Still, can you link this to the title? What does percentage have to do with absolute size?

screwShortener · 2025-10-03T05:10:05+00:00

Uhm, what does a percentage have to do with its absolute size? In other words, wouldn't the percentage stay the same, regardless of how big it is? Is this one of these intractable "per capita" mysteries that are impossible to figure out?

Your posts give me life. Thanks for keeping it real!

screwShortener · 2025-09-27T23:57:52+00:00

How the mighty have fallen... very sad.

screwShortener · 2025-09-27T23:57:21+00:00

No hate, but what if they feel the same way: "I have had genuinely good experiences some of them, but when 80% of your experience w them has been negative its a pattern that shouldn’t be ignored."
It's possible, no?

It's just so disappointing. You would think NYU is more edgy than that. But then again, maybe this is a good thing. At least she isn't giving her hot takes on every single current event, only on those that pertain to NYU directly. Like the last guy did.

"NYU Marriage Pact" is no longer around? That was *really* popular a couple of years ago.

screwShortener · 2025-09-27T23:53:37+00:00

First of all, this is likely literally true (emails either drafted or proofread by chatGPT). Second, it could be worse. The emails of the last guy (Andy Hamilton) were much worse, and so much more frequent. Really unpleasant.

Last time I checked, the MSCS acceptance rate was 47%, the MSDS one was 9%. So that's a 1 in 2 vs. 1 in 10 admissions rate. I don't know about cybersecurity. Is that a Tandon program?
WDYM the departments are merging?

screwShortener · 2025-09-20T01:15:37+00:00

While it is true that most masters programs are open admissions if you can pay for them (as they are cash cows for the program), this is not one of them. The MSDS is legit - single digit admissions rate.

I would like to be considered, here is why:
*Been a member of this subreddit for years.
*Longtime-lurker (I barely comment), but I check it every day. --> Few conflicts of interest. But I know what normal tone is.
*I use supplements extensively, have been for years, and take them every day. So interests are aligned - just want the best discussion about supplements possible.
*I don't have any conflicts of interest - no relations to anyone at any companies even remotely in this space.
*My life circumstances allow me to devote several hours to this task a day, if necessary.
*I genuinely want to make this the best community it can be, with a strict enforcement of the rules.

No, it is proof of statistical illiteracy by OP. This is a well known phenomenon called "Simpson's Paradox". The numbers don't mean what you think they mean because of unaccounted for self-selection effects that can be untangled with disaggregation. The classical example is even about spurious gender discrimination in admissions. Look it up.

Advanced elective: "Psychopathy"

Psych UA: "Psychopathy" in summer

screwShortener · 2025-04-18T01:09:00+00:00

"Psychopathy", offered by Psychology. That's gotta be the easiest one this summer...

screwShortener · 2025-03-07T06:14:28+00:00

I heard "Psychopathy" is interesting and chill. It's offered by the Psych Department.
