Had quite an argument with my faculty with two vice deans saying they want to throw me out of the window. If you were me, what would you do? Interpret it as a physical threat or just a figure of speech?
Yikes!! Why were they so upset with you? I don't know what I would do, its hard to say.. Because I wouldn't want to get kicked out of school, but on the other hand, they have no right to talk to you that way.... Do you personally feel threatened?
Not easy to kick out a phd candidate . We have differences in opinions, I don't feel personally threatened I mean I have 30 years worth of martial arts training, just that I don't like their languages. Trying to give them a little problem with the Provost
Well a figure of speech could still be a threat. You need to assess exactly how you felt at that time and if you truly felt in danger. Since we were not there it is hard to give you the correct advice, but it seems logical that they were just making a comment and probably did not mean it literally.
Think hard before you do anything, you don't want to burn any bridges - Maybe they feel threatened by your good looks and brilliant mind?!
thats the problem you need to decide on bcoz it will affect your life. I would continue somehow. Also it also it depends on how much time more you need to get your phd.
Believe me, faculty members live in ivory towers and stupid is really an understatement when used on them
Are those vice deans wrestlers?why will they want you to throw out of the window?If I were you then I would just ignore such threats.No intellectual can do such killing act,they don't have the guts
Well they claimed they were heard wrongly, anyway it is tough to take a phd in such an environment, I am opting for a change of university. Problem is my supervisor, changing supervisors would be extremely difficult.
You are running away? Stay and make their life hell... thats what I'm doing. And if you do go away, wear a mask and kung-fu their asses or hire me I'll
I would say it's just a figure of speech. Just ignore it, think of the consequeces before doing anything you might regret.
this is what i do in case i will face that situation, i will humble down myself. God will raise up the humble
