My university had a policy that final exams would take place on time come flood, hurricane, or bomb threat. Some idiot tried calling in a threat to get out of an exam.

In person final exams are a rarity here. Most profs put their finals online. Gone are the days of sweating it out in May in a lecture hall taking finals.

A professor was infatuated with one of his students. So, he hit on her and she shot him down. He then found out where she lived off campus and followed her trying to talk to her. She freaked out and thankfully her boyfriend was home and threatened the professor. The professor then proceeded to get high and drunk later that evening and drive around the walking paths on campus. I was in class at the time so saw the police lights but couldn't see out the window as we had the blinds closed to block out some of the light. Over the Summer there were classes and you could stay in the dorms. At the same time if there were certain events in town sports teams and marathon runners could stay int he mostly empty dorms. One year the RA Director got caught doing the walk of shame with the coach of a baseball team.

I'm a cleaner at a big company in the uk. They reduced the amount the main skip gets emptied to "encourage recycling" even though we don't choose what goes in the recycling the staff does. We can't separate out the rubbish once it's in a bin as all kinds of nasty or dangerous stuff could be in there. What has actually happened is more general waste ends up contaminating actual recycling and it was all to save money. You don't have to pay contractors to empty the skip and then it just piles up and then hope it doesn't blow over to the airport right next door. Nothing bad could happen.

Ok im sorry but op in story 8 should have shouted for the professor and immediately went to the chemical shower in the other lab. You do not take chances with chemicals like that. Bromine is a halogen which is extremely reactive (think chlorine gas level reactive). Im happy they were okay but it could have ended really badly.

For context: my Uni has the particularity of having one campus inside a national security area, therefore with a more strict, military security, think cameras in EVERY corner, security screening/approval of staff and students, and so on. In the other campus, smoking weed is common and done openly, being tolerated by campus security. So, I was assisting a class in the first campus when 2 LARGE securities stormed inside and knocked down a student to the ground, taking their bag and screaming for him not to resist. The professor immediately broke down in tears upon their entrance, eventually fainting from shock At the same time security was escorting the student out, paramedics were rushing. It happens that this professor is from a country that, in the late '70, had a military dictatorship and fled from it after being traumatized by school raids against "comunists". She took a 2 years health leave after that and was the last time I saw her teaching. She is a great teacher, compassionate teacher. The raid proved to be the final straw, prompting the university dean to escalate the matter to the country's president. They succeeded in achieving two unprecedented outcomes: a. Securing a public apology. b. Imposing restrictions on national security actions within all university premises, requiring authorization from the dean before entering campus or taking any action agains the staff and students. All of it happened bc the security has saw the student smoking cigarretes outside.

We've had some nonsense at my small school, though I think every student in the department at the time knew exactly what admin had done. During the covid crisis, they were looking to cut things from the budget, and the bean counters in admin fucked up big time. The physics department was growing fast, and had recently split itself into two departments to make administration easier. The bean counters saw this "new department" with only a couple of professors and classes, and just axed the whole thing. Then they realized that department was responsible for a course needed for the environmental studies major, which is actually our third largest major, but it was too late, because they had already killed the department and fired the new professor who had taken a 25% pay cut just to come teach here because she liked the culture of our school so much. They had to shove the classes they had just cut back into the remaining half of the department. Then two more professors retired, one because I think he was planning to anyway, and the other, who was also the director of the department, retired early. In the end, we ended up with 2 professors doing the work of 5. They're still working on hiring new staff. One of the things I find the most hilarious? One of the reasons they cut the department was that it was lowest in the school for diversity numbers. Among physics programs, we were top three in the entire nation for diversity. We may not be big, but out little physics department punches way above it's weight class, and the short sighted bean counters in admin fucking kneecapped us.

One of the local community colleges has a habit of keeping students from graduating. With the exception of criminal justice and nursing, they make sure there is always one required course in each curriculum that is never offered. They claim "not enough students need that course at the current time." After students have finished all their other courses, they are advised to change to a different degree program while they wait for the missing course to be offered. This way the students can keep getting financial aid and paying tuition. I know people who have gone to that school for 4 years or more without ever getting a single two-year degree. Now, this same school wants to be upgraded to university status. They're nothing but a bunch of parasites. 🤬

There is a teacher at my college who were accused of r*ping a female student. The student unions tried to call him out but the college threaten to pursue them for diffamation. He's still a teacher. He was also accused of plagiarising, and students of his department speak about him to the youngest every year. Like, don't stay on his office with the door closed if you're a woman. He also has the habit of passing an attendance sheet to the first years and then sends text messages to the girls he thinks are pretty. Such a nice guy.

Oh my god, I think the university where the FBI raided was Marshall in WV. A friend went there and her roommate was busted by the FBI b/c she was dealing meth that was cooked in the university lab. If it wasn't that specific case that op was talking about then there were at least TWO cases where meth was cooked at a university lab and man that's crazy.

I’ve worked at and with universities for over a decade and can confirm the money waste is real. It’s like they have so much money that they don’t even check that a quote they get is good value. They do pov out on paying their tutors though and pay half the teaching rate for marking and then set a cap on how much time we can spend marking each student, so to do a good job I basically volunteer my time for minimum wage to read 150,000 words in 2-3 weeks. Students pay thousands per subject and I get $65 for the entire semester to mark them and provide them with constructive feedback.

Love the story about the prof who was almost fired for the edgy Italian movie. So this is a gay, Pakistani, Italian literature prof who's not agfraid to show an edgy movie to adult students who know exactly what they're getting into. That's VERY interesting hybrid identity. I can't be the only one who really just want to know this man's life story. And be in his classes. May he retire in peaceful luxury, due to this stupid incident.

@ivantheunknown4545 9 ай бұрын

Owning a degree does NOT = inteligence. It means you had the patience to study. Most people I met with something like a PHD are just honestly very dumb and arrogant. Schools force you to learn knowledge by hearth, not to improve your critical thinking skills or anything simmilar. My sister finished to be a nurse, then a hystory and latin teacher. She lacks the ability to understand why its easyer to open a door at the knob, instead of the hinges. This is not an exageration.

I wonder all the time what goes on behind the scenes at my university that the students don't know about. I won't mention the name or the incidents, but in the time since I started here 4 years ago, we've been in the news and public eye for several terrible things, so bad that one can't help but think, "If this is what is happening in the public eye, what else is happening that we don't know about yet". The only thing I'll say is that my University is in South Africa, and if you search the right things, you can find it very easily.

Hell back int he 60s and 70s There was students in a college near my hometown who made their own LSD. A family friend knew one of the students and managed to get a few "windowpanes" (A windowpane is liquid isd in a dissolvable transparent pouch, far more potent than the blotter acid).. he said after trying it the trip lasted about 84 hrs. Three and a half days. Though i think this trip is what fried his brain, as when i knew him he was a really nasty, grody guy who was very eccentric.

Some of the things I have seen as a professor is students being pushed tbro, especially if they're a terrible student. Never there they do some of their homework. Always talking back honestly. They're probably just gonna get pushed through but. On the flip side of that, you'll have good students. That missed a couple homework assignments. They were absent a couple times and it put them just on the edge. I can fudge the grade to make him pass. But I'm not going to because they should have known better. The other thing is there. There are so many opportunities for anyone in college. But no one ever takes the opportunity. and what I mean by that is every college and University out there. Has their own scholarships their national level scholarships out there. But no one except for a select. Few will take the time and it's usually an hour to go through and apply for these scholarshows at the school. Why wasn't associated at? We have a tool scholarship. Were we given out tools for students in the automotive program? We usually give out 5 boxes. And they're not big fancy boxes but it's a box. With Tools for free I can count on one hand the number of times we've received more. Then 7 applications take advantage of everything.The school has to offer you.Because if you don't you can't complain that you didn't get the opportunity. Also I use voice to text so sorry about all the periods

And it's not a university only thing a work in business and that happens all the time in business. They don't want bad publicity. So corrupt people get to leave and hurt other people in the future.

I think the professor of the 3rd story was kinda in the wrong... Ill assume he didn't give a trigger warning otherwise the girls shouldn't have come, but warning students before exposing them to images of assault is super important since it can bring up past traumas. Not something to be fired over but he should be told that he should warn students before showing it...
