Oh so multiple people were not experts in the subjects. Cool.

Also isn't it strange that while administrations are supposedly stuffed with these "grievance studies" people - not one person on your board was qualified to properly evaluate those fields.

It is just the nature of university wide committees that you won’t always have experts in every field on the committee.

We certainly had people for outside the STEM fields on this committee and they were in no better position than the scientists trying to rank these grievance study students and projects.

So at the time you and your colleagues chose to defer to experts in those fields, but currently you assume you are an expert in the content and character of the fields. What changed?

Nothing because I am not claiming to be an expert in these fields.

Great:

> I think you are assuming that the graduates of grevience [sic] studies have some sort of loyalty to their old professors. My personal experience is they don't.

Dismissed due to lack of expertise.

> They know a degree in some grievance study is not going to help them pay off their massive student loans.

Dismissed (and stop listening to so much american commentary, arts degrees don't cost much here).
