Maybe, but I don’t think it’s particularly appropriate to directly insult the appearance of anyone who is just trying to promote their movie. It’s shitty either way, and he did nothing to deserve it.

That’s true, but that’s why punching upward works and punching down doesn’t.

Yeah, I actually saw the show. She said it tongue-in-cheek, and everyone laughed in the audience.

I think she should be able to work again, but a communications professor blocking journalists from a public area and saying bring some muscle (a threat) is a very, very, very bad look. That and her non-apology, I know I sure as hell wouldn’t want her working for any department I was involved with.

That is a charitable assumption, and also a reasonable one.

I was thinking more along the lines of a co-curricular program, like in nursing or medicine or real apprenticeship programs. It’s part of the educational experience and they aren’t adding a ton of value to the institution. Paying them would just add to the student’s cost of tuition. Perhaps there should be a different…

Yes but there's no mandate that those internships be unpaid. For example, engineering or computer science internships are almost always paid and very well paid, because companies want to attract the best talent after. One of my chem eng students made 17k during a summer internship and that wasn't abnormal. For them,…
