By "the rest of them" I mean UPenn and people in her dep and school that demoted her to adjunct.
By the "socio-political BS" I mean the status games that are often played in academia.
I'm not disparaging all of academia or all academics. I was one for quite awhile. Or universities in general.
But, from my point of view, there was far too much stratification of academics. There was always a ton of status quo thinking, and reputation management.
Which isn't that different from other parts of human life. Just with that particular aroma of academic life.
@CptSuperlative - okay. I think we agree. I loved teaching, but when I started getting pressured to do administrative work I was quite happy to retire early and focus on research. Luckily I was paid enough and saved enough to be able to afford this!
