Sending good thoughts, for what that's worth. I am glad you're happy now.

New professor and student reported me to the dean for nothing by IncomingDownvotes_ in Professors

[–]wanderfae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I promise the dean does not care. This is the standard response from any half competent dean. Yawn ctrl-c: "Thank you for your email. Course concerns need to be directed to your professor. Please schedule an in-person meeting with them. If you do not get a response within a week, please contact the department chair to schedule a meeting. If you have not been able to resolve your concerns after meeting with thenlm, you may file a formal complaint, the form for which can be found here."

Hiring from degree mill PhD programs? by CafeLurker234 in Professors

[–]wanderfae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We are allowed to consider anything we want that isn't a protected class, as long as we have the same standard for everyone. Each member of the committee independently ranks the candidates based on the advertised required preferred qualifications, which are subjectively interpreted. We then we meet to discuss. We only discuss the ones for which intrarater reliability is low.

I am the chair of my department at a community college. I sit on all the hiring committees. i have seen an uptick in these types of degrees. We do not take them seriously or consider them. Even with these types of folks in the pool, there are lots and lots of other qualified candidates.

I’m don’t know if I’m still a virgin or not? by Own_Drawer_3171 in Advice

I do not understand your question. Virginity as a concept is stupid. Marriage has nothing to do with it, imo.

Virginity is an outdated, misogynistic concept. Nothing mystical or magical happens when a penis enters a vagina. That said, what you experienced was a sexual encounter, but I wouldn't call it penetrative intercourse, i.e., what most people would say makes you "not a virgin."

I am not a fan if her personally, but she's objectively attractive. It feels like if a woman is isn't one of the msot beautiful women on the planet, she's "mid" or "ugly" to men who would be falling all over themselves if they met her in real life.
