I'm an MS student, so I'm sort of kind of in academia. This shit doesn't surprise me at all. There are so many cock suckers in my department who think they're God's gift to the world, and this is a STEM program too. I can totally imagine the narcissistic shitheels in my department thinking that working for them is compensation enough and that they shouldn't have to pay for labor. At least in STEM they mostly know what they're talking about, but holy shit they have no place ruling over anything. For every Fraudchi there's hundreds of wannabes with egos just as big as his.
