i hope victims are at least slightly righted by a just punishment for him (if the right authorities find that he deserves one). they deserve all the best and I wish it for them.
Tangentially this letter though reveals the clubbiness of this profession. Not that this is new info. Some famous reg monkey just gives away top 10 admits? A lot of people worked hard and didn’t get access to famous reg monkeys. Where are everyone’s top 10 admits?

I could smell the LRM stink from this post all the way over at PSR.
Why does every RA feel entitled to admission in a top PhD program? That's just bizarre.Because as an RA you earn 1/3 of what you do in the private sector and if you dont get a good phd admit you are literally f**ked?
why don't you go back to the industry then dumbwit
you are here because you want to
you give up on 2/3rd of what you think you deserve, so you are guaranteed a top PhD, you think?
Does not work like that, kiddo.
Taking him at his word (since I have no idea about the truth of these allegations), the whole thing is frustrating. It may very well be worth the tradeoff to clean up the atmosphere where people "have on occasion made off-color jokes and commented on one another’s lives outside of work, including their dating lives" in order not to discourage women. But a tradeoff it is. A sterile environment where people make no jokes is also going to discourage some people. It may be a place of lower trust. Etc. You don't get anything for free.
Again, those tradeoffs may be worth it. But the woke twitter crowd denies the existence of tradeoffs in these things at all, which is just not a serious position.
This is one of the most lucid posts I have read in a while. Someone formalize this into a paper please.

But the woke twitter crowd denies the existence of tradeoffs in these things at all, which is just not a serious position.Actually, somewhat ironically, a totally sterile environment might make it harder for people from disadvantaged backgrounds to fit in. PCness is not something you learn to master if you grow up in a low social status environment. But my impression is anyways that the most vocal PC proponents fit the checkbox of an underprivileged group but are very well off themselves.
That's exactly what PC is about. The etiquette and norms of the upper classes that are acquired with habit and are used to distinguish themselves from 'the rest'.
I hate these f*ck!ng RAs. How entitled do you have to be to broadcast this on twitter? I will remember this when she is on the market.

What relation does she have to Fryer?
no relationship, except she fell to the floor crying when she read that line.
