#AcademicFixers: HR, general counsel, compliance staff whose real function is containment. Their job title says support. Their job function is making your complaint disappear. 🪜🎓📜🍎♀️ #PhDSky #Blackademia #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky #MeToo #HigherEd #PhDChat #WomenInStem

Once a #TitleIX complaint begins, anonymity ends. You're named. Cross-examined. This petition asks Congress to fix that. buff.ly/vcwI9nY 🪜 🎓 📜 🍎 ♀️ #PhDSky #Blackademia #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky #MeToo #HigherEd #PhDChat #WomenInStem

#IvoryHeir: the protégé who inherits a powerful faculty member's lab, grants, network, and methods. The system doesn't just protect predators. It reproduces them. 🪜🎓📜🍎♀️ #PhDSky #Blackademia #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky #MeToo #HigherEd #PhDChat #WomenInStem

This part on promotion systems for faculty in academia is especially salient. #AcademicSky

Promotion systems that treat mentorship as service and public scholarship as extracurricular. Evaluation structures that count citations and grant dollars but have no metric for the graduate students you helped retain. Department norms that ask junior scholars, and disproportionately scholars from historically marginalized groups, to carry the relational labor that holds communities together while counting none of it toward their advancement.

#DepartmentDarling: everyone loves them publicly. Behind closed doors is a different story. Their charming hallway reputation is the opposite of their actual behavior. 🪜🎓📜🍎♀️ #PhDSky #Blackademia #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky #MeToo #HigherEd #PhDChat #WomenInStem

#SerialAdvisor: unusually high student turnover. Students leave, switch advisors, transfer, drop out. A rate that would trigger review in any other profession. In academia, nobody investigates. 🪜🎓📜🍎♀️ #PhDSky #Blackademia #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky #MeToo #HigherEd #PhDChat #WomenInStem

#CosmeticRestructure: new leadership, new department name, same power dynamics. Often moves the complainant under a supervisor who still reports to the person who wants it buried. 🪜🎓📜🍎♀️ #PhDSky #Blackademia #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky #MeToo #HigherEd #PhDChat #WomenInStem

If reporting means naming yourself to university stakeholders who control your degree, funding, and career, would you report? Most don't. That has to change. Sign here for change! buff.ly/vcwI9nY 🪜 🎓 📜 🍎 ♀️ #PhDSky #Blackademia #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky #MeToo #HigherEd #PhDChat #WomenInStem
