Dr Kilimo,

Thank you for the feedback. Please see the corrections below;

~~Dr. Kilimo~~

I dedicated my dissertation to my dog. Fuck off Second Supervisor Kilimo

[-] icelimit@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

We all know the good boy will be with you throughout your thesis and exam.

[-] stephen01king@piefed.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, unlike a boyfriend.

Dr Kilmo can eat my entire ass with that passive aggressive email.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 58 points 1 month ago

There's nothing passive aggressive here. In fact, the entire message is quite direct in its message.

The title case on Professional Boundaries Exist for a Reason is somehow the funniest part to me. It's all set for !fakebandnames@lemmy.world.

[-] treesapx@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Combined with the various bold statements and it paints quite a picture of just how controlling this person is.

Can we keep fake slop out of this community? This is just AITA for university students. I want memes about rocks and trains and the scientific method 😅

This horseshit. I dedicated mine to my partner and married her afterwards.

If this is the kind of stuff the prof is sending in writing I can only imagine the kind of bullshit the are pulling in person and with everything else.

I would be complaining to the dean.

Wait are these emails real? I thought it was satire…

[-] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Nice username, fellow Malazan fan(probably).

Yes, the emails seem to be satire.

"First in, Last Out" indeed.

[-] how_we_burned@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 month ago

Is this a new meme format? I've seen several of these in the last couple of days all with them inferring all sorts of craziness by "Faith" from the rationale professor.

[-] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

I'm no expert, but it might be a meme that escaped LinkedIn.

[-] belluck@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think Faith might be OP, all these posts have the same tiktok account watermark

[-] recentSlinky@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 month ago

And then there's my friend's supervisor who asked her why she didn't include her boyfriend in the dedication since he knew he drove her to her research site few times

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 17 points 1 month ago

“Expedite” is an odd fucking choice of sign off.

[-] FishFace@piefed.social 17 points 1 month ago

Fake and boring

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 month ago

Time for a new supervisor.

[-] MrEff@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Committee members for supervising thesis and dissertations are normally locked once you submit the committee form. There are no changing them unless it is under extreme circumstances. We are talking circumstances like death, retirement, and pending legal issues. Otherwise, things like scheduling, professional conflicts, and personality differences are not acceptable reasons. Sucks for OOP for being stuck with a shitty person.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 13 points 1 month ago

Sounds like Dr Kilimo is jelly, and striking back the only way she knows how: professionally.
