[quote=Anonymous][b]<<I think academia is completely f'ed up, and American universities basically lie to every PhD student who matriculates.>>[/b] +1 I was in my second year of doctoral training at supposedly the best grad school in my field, before I understood that academics (at least those who teach in grad school) are expected to bring in a LARGE chunk of their own salary to keep their jobs. For example, at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, even tenured, full professors are expected to cover 85% of their own salaries with grants. What a SCAM. The government should not agree to the outrageous indirect cost rates charged by prestigious research institutions AND universities should be forced to pay their faculty's own salaries. Believe me, they seem to find $$ to pay administrators/deans![/quote]
