I’m sorry this found it’s way to your inbox and to the inbox of many graduate students at MSU. Expecting people to work more hours than a full time job is a persistent issue in academia and we must stop perpetuating this culture, especially during times like these.

We should be trying to support the next generation of brilliant minds, not push them away with unreasonable expectations.
