guyjantic has moved!<p>Warning: Long.<br />TL;DR: academia is being weakened, its strength given to corporations.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Academia</span></a> is a nightmare for many people. 20+ years of shrinking budgets, <a href="https://c.im/tags/AdminBloat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AdminBloat</span></a>, <a href="https://c.im/tags/CorporateCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CorporateCulture</span></a>, the <a href="https://c.im/tags/CustomerService" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CustomerService</span></a> model of education, & cultural anti-intellectualism have people are fleeing in large numbers. I'm worried about where they're going.</p><p>The Facebook group The Professor Is Out (TPIO) & the subreddit /r/LeavingAcademia are active & helpful. I am 100% in support of leaving if academia isn't working for you. American (USA-centric, sorry) politics, social trends, & academic administrators have killed much of the Grand Mission elements of academia. It's just a <a href="https://c.im/tags/job" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>job</span></a>, now, for many of us. Many profs feel they now occupy <a href="https://c.im/tags/BullshitJobs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BullshitJobs</span></a>. </p><p>So, yes, quit. Vote with your feet. I plan to do the same thing.</p><p>At the same time I think the pro-corporate, anti-<a href="https://c.im/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HigherEd</span></a> elements of our world are pulling off something huge. When academics leave academia, where do we go? To corporations. </p><p>Some fleeing academics go to government, nonprofits, or prosocial companies. However, my strong sense (I wish I had <a href="https://c.im/tags/Data" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Data</span></a>) is that a *lot* of academics are going to run-of-the-mill American/multinational corporations. </p><p>Discussions in /r/LeavingAcademia & TPIO often focus on how to get jobs at big corps or consulting firms. Tutorials teach academics to turn their research, teaching, writing, & management skills into corporate-marketable resume points. <a href="https://c.im/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UX</span></a>, <a href="https://c.im/tags/DataScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DataScience</span></a>, <a href="https://c.im/tags/management" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>management</span></a>, <a href="https://c.im/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writing</span></a>, and even creation of corporiate higher ed content are common career targets.</p><p>People in positions designed to speak truth to power are flocking to the power. It's deeply disheartening to me, and apparently to others. Those concerns, however, are not welcome in forums dedicated to leaving academia. In the FB TPIO group, for example, recent posts saying things like "I want to leave, but not work for an evil corporation" are branded by mods as "academic gaslighting." Those forums exist only to help people get out, not to debate what impact that will have.</p><p>And I understand. I've been there. I want out, too, in fact. Five years ago I would gladly have created algorithms to sell sweet cereal to kids if it meant I could escape my nightmare. </p><p>Somewhere, though, I want an open, broad discussion of what is happening:</p><p>- Academics are leaving universities & colleges</p><p>- They're being replaced with highly vulnerable temp/gig positions</p><p>- These temps usually have no job security therefore no effective academic freedom</p><p>- Universities are becoming more corporate, less tied to any values or even sense of independence</p><p>- Fleeing academics often sell their skills to the very entities behind the enshittification of academia</p><p>- Academia is, indeed, becoming increasingly enshittified</p><p>- The anti-intellectual elements use this to argue against <a href="https://c.im/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>highered</span></a> & in favor of more corporate, <a href="https://c.im/tags/authoritarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>authoritarian</span></a> management of universities</p><p>I worry this is a slow-motion coup of huge proportions: The aggressor ideology is not just destroying or nullifying <a href="https://c.im/tags/resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>resistance</span></a> voices, it is co-opting them, adding them to its own. </p><p>Academics moving to Evil Corporations are not evil (very few people are). but they're moving to strong situations, & human behavior is powerfully shaped by situations. FWIW Universities aren't fully non-evil (especially lately), nor are faculty in general; <a href="https://c.im/tags/professors" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>professors</span></a> are pretty average (at best) in our courage & morality levels. Academia has historically been a strong situation encouraging iconoclasm, independent thought, meaningful <a href="https://c.im/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>education</span></a> experiences, etc., though this is less true every year.</p><p>Academia can be a space that allows people to make fewer moral compromises in how their labor is used. That is changing. I think we're at an inflection point: Academics are making more compromises in academia with each ratchet click in the corporate takeover of higher ed, & those who leave (it feels like more every month) will inevitably make even more. We're going to see nonlinear effects.</p><p>The enshittification (and traditional shittiness) of higher ed is a big problem. Industry is, apparently, *nicer* to former academics. Hundreds of "fleeing academia" stories include tears of relief at finding corporate bosses & work teams kinder, more flexible, more rational, & just more livable than deans, provosts, & (sometimes) colleagues. Frankly, I hope for the same thing. In my case, the bar is very low.</p><p>This is a big problem. I'm embedded in it. I don't know how to fix it; I only have vague ideas like "fully fund higher ed" & "legislation to reduce administrative bloat". I think we'll see big consequences in 10 or 20 years, & not understand why.</p><p>I feel like I'm channeling <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention">@<span>pluralistic</span></a></span> or something.<br /><a href="https://c.im/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/professor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>professor</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>teaching</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/career" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>career</span></a></p>
guyjantic has moved!<p>TL;DR: US college is the new <a href="https://c.im/tags/highschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>highschool</span></a>; teaching feels like <a href="https://c.im/tags/psychotherapy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>psychotherapy</span></a> with juvenile sex offenders.</p><p>Like other <a href="https://c.im/tags/university" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>university</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/professors" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>professors</span></a> I've noticed a shift over the past few years in student <a href="https://c.im/tags/engagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>engagement</span></a>: increasing numbers of students are completely checked out. They seem to hate being there and have no problem letting me know: their nonverbal cues indicate boredom, hostility, or even contempt. They radiate grievance asked to read between sessions or take initiative in problem solving. Several per year complain about my teaching to my chair or dean when they receive grades they don't like.</p><p>Personally, I've had something like this situation for 2 decades because I teach <a href="https://c.im/tags/statistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>statistics</span></a> in <a href="https://c.im/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>psychology</span></a> (99% of psych undergrads dread their stats and methods courses), but feels like it's gotten worse recently. </p><p>Other faculty seem to be saying the same thing. My spouse, for instance, a classicist teaching <a href="https://c.im/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>history</span></a>, has said it's become disheartening to teach, like spending hours preparing for a performance, then presenting it to an audience of people who have no interest and clearly wish they were anywhere else.</p><p>Yesterday I realized that the grim, depressing (but still sometimes enjoyably challenging) feeling of teaching students who absolutely Do Not Want To Learn what I am offering has been familiar for a long time.</p><p>For a few years I did therapy with juvenile sex offenders. I also provided some court-mandated counseling for <a href="https://c.im/tags/domesticviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>domesticviolence</span></a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/substanceabuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>substanceabuse</span></a>. </p><p>Teaching feels like that. Not because the students are violent or have committed crimes or anything. It's because I'm offering change to people who don't want it, and who don't feel a sense of personal choice in the matter. It's the the "I hate being here" dynamic. In theory, US students have freely chosen to come to college, but I don't think some of them feel that way.</p><p>That's why I was already familiar with this push/pull, carrot/stick type of interaction: Use nice, happy, rewarding things and lots of encouragement to increase motivation while trying to leave plenty of personal autonomy and the ability to say no. And also offer negative consequences in case the happy stuff doesn't work, which it often doesn't. </p><p>This realization feels like an epiphany and, in a sad parallelism, makes me less motivated to teach. It feels like my <a href="https://c.im/tags/students" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>students</span></a> are exactly as excited to be in my university classes as my clients with sexual behavior problems or domestic violence problems or addictions issues were to be in a court-mandated therapy room.</p><p>There are some good thoughts to be had here about <a href="https://c.im/tags/motivation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>motivation</span></a> and what is happening to <a href="https://c.im/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>highered</span></a> (and <a href="https://c.im/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>education</span></a> in general) in the US, and I will continue to think about them, but above all of that is the feeling--it feels like knowledge of something inevitable--that teaching will never be fun again.</p><p>I hope that's wrong.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>teaching</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ResearchMethods" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ResearchMethods</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SUNY" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SUNY</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/professor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>professor</span></a></p>
