before submitting an abstract to an international conference, i have to check whether vfs handles their visas & how bad the wait times are. as someone with an indian passport, the amount of time, energy, money i have spent on visas & immigration to keep my academic career going is … 😢😪

gee was the president when i joined OSU as an international grad student. his practices introduced me to the chronic disparities in vision & compensation among admin, faculty, staff, & students in american universities. but he continues to hop from one institution to another without consequences.
