There are 130 people who voted "other" for gender question. Wtf is other?

I've been seeing some...unusual gender options on surveys and things lately, from GT and elsewhere. Stuff like "other" or "non-binary" or whatever. Transmania has overtaken the culture with lightning speed.

For faculty, I assume there's also some pressure to support the change given that the chairs of all the schools were among the first to support the proposed change.

The situation with faculty is really twofold: first you have a group of people with little connection to the traditions and athletics of the Institute.

Second, you have to understand why people go into academia. There are obviously tens of thousands of reasons, but one of the top 3 is to prove you're smarter than other people. The propensity of people with that mentality and the activity of spending most of your time educating people who inherently know less than you breed a culture of elitism. Someone with a mentality of "I'm a genius and everyone else is a bumbling yokel" is the same one that says "I must protect people from all of the bumbling yokels who will inherently mistreat them out of ignorance."

That is because Clemson is full of hate-filled, racist rednecks.

I didn't know you went to Clemson.

Yes, these liberal elite believe they must do everything for us because we are incompetent. Can we just hang their ass?

Who actually sings this part anyway? Let's just make it official and change it to "raise the ratio".

Everyone who isn't a loser.

That is basically what's going on and why most faculty are liberals. GT is one of the more conservative universities in the US and it's probably 60% liberal.

I meant research universities. Teaching universities are different because faculty there are told they're inferior to research university faculty, so they're at least a little grounded. Plus, many aren't PhDs and have practical experience.

Thanks for explaining your posts.

Is another of your top 3 "I ööööing love college! I'm never leaving!"? Because that was mine.

I get older, they stay the same age. Yes they do, yes they do.

Females were about 65/35 opposed, males about 70/30 opposed.

Just shows that females are 5% more likely to be stupid than males.

Don't lie.. yours was "I wanna bang college chicks, so I'll forever stay in college"

"I want to move to the US"
And "I don't know what to do with my life, so I'll keep doing this college thing and see where it goes."

That's not to say that people dislike the job, but many people fall into it.

 

[RamblinWreck09]

"I don't know what to do with my life, so I'll keep doing this college thing and see where it goes."

So "I ööööing love college! I'm never leaving!"?
