They should get hazard pay for in a warzone

It’s not meant to be $20k/year. It’s >$20k/8 months at 20 hrs/week. The logic is that during summer you are to acquire an RA position, internship, or job because your TA position has ended. The salary is absolutely not calculated on a per year basis.

I’m pretty liberal too and I would volunteer for that campaign in a heartbeat. We need a good technocrat to run this city. We would probably actually get more done.

This happened to Drexel a while back.

I think one issue here is that temple seems to be relying more and more on TAs to be primary professors instead of hiring actual field experts. In fact by my senior year several years back, nearly half my classes were entirely taught by TAs. They are not being compensated as a professor would be while taking on that work load. And frankly 20k is not a liveable wage in Philly. As you said, they don’t need to live comfortably, but they shouldn’t need to essentially work three jobs (ta + full time student + another job). It is also a disgrace the way the school is handling the strike. I’m fairly sure federally it’s illegal to try to punish them for striking. Not that other big corporations haven’t just taken the fines and LOLd at the law. But that doesn’t make it right.

this is mid, he seems like a nice dude and his old stand up is good imo

They’re pretty tasty.

Temple? Shit man give them to Nazareth or some other hospital struggling to keep the lights on!

Nah, developers aren’t excused just because they CAN do something. The city’s at fault, no doubt about that, but accountability has to work in all directions. All parties involved are guilty except the tenants.

Let's not pretend academic medicine pays poorly (post residency).

It doesn't pay the extraordinarily generous rates as private practice.

But you're still easily clearing mid 6-figures.

If you think their dining halls are bad you should see what's behind that base trim in the dorms lmao

Urban Eatery at Drexel is excellent. Worked there as a job coach and never gotten sick from eating at this hall.

It does when you're blaming the problems on the wrong things for the wrong reasons.

How much you want to bet they don’t even have red or royal blue scrubs lol

It's the anti stadium people being forced to acknowledge, at the very least to themselves, that thier opposition is as dumb as my statement makes it out to be.

Having known a few I am pretty sure the locals around Temple are not typically renters.

Terrible, terrible patron. Top 5 worst I can think of, including the dine and dash lady.

You should check out Drinks and Dragons. In South Philly, they run it once a month at La Llorona (sp?)

>I think it‘s ridiculous how much academia likes to poo-poo anyone interested in private practice and academia.

Moron with science PhD here: I never got that vibe

Also I agree with your first point hardcore

That's how the Swedes get us back
