Universities can advise students to stay home when they are sick all they want but if professors are requiring attendance, penalizing absences, and/or expecting students to do work while sick, that messaging is basically meaningless. And students know it.

@GongDonkey It’s too big of a place for me to know for sure but anecdotal evidence from students suggests there are still plenty of profs who penalize absences in one way or another, unfortunately. Sometimes just not thinking—like going over exam material only in class or study sessions.

@vjoshuaadams You aren't applying for the only job you'll ever have. Anything with resources, good enough pay, and a renewable contract will help you develop into an even stronger candidate in 3-5 years' time.

@ass_deans But you still want us to drop by your office to let you know, right? (Or are you still working from home?)

@thephdstory I know it doesn’t make it any easier, but make sure they know why you are turning it down. Not “I make more as an adjunct” but “This salary is just not financially feasible.” If the department/program is trying to change things, they can take that to their Dean.

Today, I went where no dog has ever gone... the @CowlesLib archives. I’m kind of a big deal. @HarkinAtDrake

Just thinking this morning how little it takes to end a NTT faculty member's career and how much you can destroy and move on to another job if you are a dean, vp, provost, or president. Happy Thursday!

Went to 2 stores and bought 5 work appropriate summer dresses that all fit perfectly, and 4 have pockets.
