I could have taught at the U of Dayton 2-3 more years but I saw stuff like this coming.
Retired asap.
So, where does academia go from here, other than hell?
Small world. I had an interview at the University of Dayton Research Institute once. I know the department head I would have worked for wanted to hire me. The woman I would have replaced had other ideas. Shortly after that I designed the first generation large scale thermo-acoustic test chamber for the Air Force in testing of hypersonic materials. UDRI was ranked third among all colleges in the nation for sponsored materials research. So I guess they indirectly worked for me after that, lol.
