Current Events > Messed Up Society; College pays professor less than Panda Express Manager

*associate professor

associate professors are full-time, usually graduate (i.e. qualified to teach grad students) faculty. they rank lowest within a department structure, but they are very high-up in the university structure.

His mathematics serve less of a purpose to our fat ass society then some manager yelling at people shilling out shitty Panda Express

Tell me you don't know what an associate professor is without telling me you don't know what an associate professor is.

Thats a stupid thing to say. Associate professors are below professors, if the TC wants to make a topic about something like this they should at least be accurate in what theyre talking about.

An associate professor is a professor. The difference between associate professor and full professor is not relevant to this discussion, and not relevant to the wider public outside academe.

and an associate professor is not a professor.

So? Then go manage a fucking panda express if you think it's so easy compared to what you do.

I think it's hilarious that you're giving literally any credence to the idea that managing a Panda isn't easier than being a professor. But it's you lol.

Lmao holy fuck, yes it literally is. They are tenured professors (usually). The vast majority of professors at a university are not "full professors." They have the exact same responsibilities and if anything work and research harder as they try to move up the tenure ladder.

I think you're getting far too hung up on your misconceptions about what the term "associate" means in this context. Stay in your lane please.

Do you also think that a sous chef and a chef are the same thing? You stay in your lane and get banned again.

Not even remotely comparable. Again, you clearly have zero idea what youre talking about and are arguing based on your misconceptions about what the term means. Associate professors are not subordinate, assistant to, or otherwise less than fulls.

I like how most of the comments (even some in this topic!) immediately assume the guy is saying he should be paid more.

In the North American system, used in the United States and many other countries, it is a position between assistant professor and a full professorship.

Hmmmm....

Lmao at the people completely outside of their element trying to argue about what an associate professor is.

Is it too much to ask for people to just not talk about shit they don't understand?

I like how most of the comments (even some in this topic!) immediately assume the guy is saying he should be paid more.

are we already back to shitting on essential workers?

But it says theyre just an associate! And the assistants probably just help the real professor!

Its amusing how buttmad you are over people pointing out that associate professor and professor are not the same thing. But I suppose that is your whole personality, being buttmad about everything in between bans.

Both Covxy and I have taught at the college level and been through graduate school (MA for me, PhD for him). I think we know more about it than you

Then you should know that associate professor and professor are not the same position.

Do you get something out of purposely acting ignorant or is it just a compulsion
