As a Columbia alumnus (MA, MPhil, PhD), it’s hard right now to recommend the school to immigrants, with ambitions of academic freedoms and Nobel Prizes — graduates and faculty have won 88 of them — given it cares more about appeasing the Government than about academic integrity.

5) I do not believe grad school in the humanities in which you pay for tuition (including with loans) is generally worth doing; there are exceptions, but a lot of short master's programs see paying MA/Mphil students are cash cows, not as future potential colleagues. You need to know that.

1983 I paid the University of London Library to do an electronic search of The Philosopher’s Index for every philosophy paper with ‘Exploitation’ in title or abstract for my MPhil thesis. It was done over phone lines to California, in the middle of the night, when phone charges were cheaper.

It looks like the student he’s talking about received a full scholarship to do an MPhil at Cambridge after graduating. Doesn’t seem like he suffered too much from his race and gender?

No. Just no. I sent the record of my PhD, which is in fact the qualification for teaching graduate courses in the humanities.
There is no such thing as a transcript for a last-millennium Oxford MPhil and my MSLS is irrelevant.
I will not pay one red cent to procure another transcript.
