stopdog, I have a friend who is a tenured professor at the university I graduated from. We became friends after I graduated. Anyway, she complains because on the main campus they have implemented things like "safe spaces" (I don't know if that is what they are actually called) for the students to go if they are having trouble with their feelings being hurt. And she complains about a lot of the training she has to do now. It's so much more than just diversity training or sexual harassment training. She described the last one to me as being psychobabble "I'm okay, you're okay" sort of stuff. I don't know what all that means, but I probably would not fit in there now. I was the one in the Dean's office complaining that the classes were too easy. Not complaining that they were too hard or that someone hurt my feelings. This friend is constantly trying to get me to get into academia but I don't want to go back to school for my PhD. At least, not at this point in my career. I'm rather sick of school still.
