After months of being urged to amend my research interests to fit the department
I’m now told by the EXACT SAME PERSON “what makes you think you can do whatever you want?” 😳
We’ve moved past silly actually.
@CarnegieMellon has been unpleasant for a no. of reasons

I’ve been on the hunt for a new PI for quite some months now. What does one do when everyone in the dept is full?
In some instances it feels like the refusals are so arbitrary and can easily be worked around. Running into a brick wall and getting frustrated . . .

kindness and patience is something the privileged can afford
my plan to be understanding and patient for 2024 lasted 3 days as people walked all over me, & I had to take a firm approach for people to actually see me (never mind treat me with basic respect)

Beyond being racist, the idea that standards are lower now is just laughably wrong. Every year, grad school applicants are more accomplished. If there’s a problem with “intellectual merit”, it is that we can expect *too much* and don’t give students breathing room to develop into critical thinkers.
This is breathtakingly racist and wildly ill-informed.
Stephens blames affirmative action for lowering a standard and yearns for an earlier model of “intellectual merit” in which he imagines the Harvard presidency was a reward for top scholars.
