What the hell is that ?
>>Ke was given a Research Assistant Professor position. Not sure why.At HKU these are kind of an upgraded postdoc. Strictly time-limited, pays maybe half what AP does, requires teaching only 1 course per year (so in that sense it's not too bad). You might go from RAP to AP but there is no formal channel (i.e. you compete with all the other AP applicants).
Never, ever seen anyone go from AP to RAP.

^Then why don't they just quit? Surely they can get something better than that, in the private sector, anywhere.
Hell, they could even go to one of those tutorial centres ... former CUHK professor (of course they will say professor ...) ... they could do very well.

Nowadays, those who quitted U as students can be the tutor kings rather than former professors.

"作為一個econ人, 有d嘢真係不吐不快
咁據我了解, 一個econ prof加入六年之後, 學系/校方就會考慮contract renewal嘅事宜 (呢點我從其他渠道得知, 不過如果大家仔細觀察, 其實唔係太難睇到, 詳細自己睇返呢三幾年有乜prof走咗人/獲升遷)
而______同本土經濟學者tommy喺15年因為出唔夠文, 學系/校方就畀一年extension佢地
到依家______依然一篇publication都冇(全部working paper), 教書又差到死, 居然可以留低, 仲要係professor track (自己睇cusis, 16/17嘅teaching timetable)
反而tommy有咁上下publications, 教書幾好就要走 (去美國嘅大學教, 九成係迫於無奈, 無理由丟低d學生唔理; 而且佢喺度咁耐或多或少都對department/香港有歸屬感)
係乜解? 你話唔係權力鬥爭/政治原因就假"

Don't think they speak good enough Cantonese to be tutor kings, and these are quite insulting jobs for some one who have spent 6 years in MIT
Well teaching track is also an insulting job ... if they cut my pay in half I think I will find a way to leave very quickly ...
