    Can we keep fake slop out of this community? This is just AITA for university students. I want memes about rocks and trains and the scientific method 😅

    Is this a new meme format? I’ve seen several of these in the last couple of days all with them inferring all sorts of craziness by “Faith” from the rationale professor.

    This horseshit. I dedicated mine to my partner and married her afterwards.

    If this is the kind of stuff the prof is sending in writing I can only imagine the kind of bullshit the are pulling in person and with everything else.

    I would be complaining to the dean.

      We all know the good boy will be with you throughout your thesis and exam.

      Combined with the various bold statements and it paints quite a picture of just how controlling this person is.

      There’s nothing passive aggressive here. In fact, the entire message is quite direct in its message.

    And then there’s my friend’s supervisor who asked her why she didn’t include her boyfriend in the dedication since he knew he drove her to her research site few times

      Committee members for supervising thesis and dissertations are normally locked once you submit the committee form. There are no changing them unless it is under extreme circumstances. We are talking circumstances like death, retirement, and pending legal issues. Otherwise, things like scheduling, professional conflicts, and personality differences are not acceptable reasons. Sucks for OOP for being stuck with a shitty person.

        Yeah, I know. I have an MA and a PhD. Ideally, you would already know if this kind of person was on your committee. In practice, you’re probably stuck.
