LOL. What a community.
"Ultimately, Hoang would know any of this had she bothered to ask the students in her own department what they are going through. It is strange that an ethnographer by training does not engage with the subjects she is supposedly giving advice to. Aspiring ethnographers are taught how to listen. Is Hoang listening to us? We, for one, are willing to talk."
She literally brought everyone’s dislike onto her when noone had actually talked about her. I really doubt she can transfer to other programs after this fiasco.
Why would you get in trouble while noone had actually cares about you? Why? Did this help your career now? I donot think so. You definitely won’t be an administrator at UChicago.

Why would she need to transfer programs? She's getting paid probably 20% higher than most of her contemporaries at a similar rank/peer institution. She's already tenured, and from what I understand, fairly well liked by the faculty at large. Her article was tone deaf and definitely backfired, but the notion that a set of anonymous grads writing for the Chicago student newspaper are going to torpedo her aspirations neglects the creepy cult-like operations of this particular school.
If her colleagues still love her after she brought this bad publicity about graduate education and advising in the department, then, they dg A f about their students

KKH's article was not wise, grad students have every right to say that ticked them off, yes, this is true. But also the idea that this is somehow dangerous for her is ridiculous. Nobody cares what grad students think. They _always_ complain, everywhere, they're gone after a few years, and faculty often kind of tune them out.
Also, although I didn't like her column, she wasn't wrong about the "not hacking it in academia" part. Or the cannibalistic world of the academic job market. Or that everyone else is making their dissertations good so you better too. All of that was right. The grad students' letter was a nice sentiment but not something that helps grad students make decisions about their lives.
The biggest problem with KKH's column was it was too optimistic.
tl;dr
Hoang wrote an op ed about the world that is.
The students wrote an op ed on the world they want.
This. Nothing that KKH said was untrue, but surely enough to ruffle the feathers of the constantly microaggressed that spend more time fighting for a utopian vision of academia and not enough time publishing and getting out of grad school.
you greatly overestimate how much any dep trying to poach her will care
