NEW: Brown University 'DOGE' student shares his side of the story with Pirate Wires At Brown University, there's roughly one non-faculty administrator for every two undergrads. Tuition, living expenses, and fees now amount to $93,064 a year. The school runs a $46 million annual budget deficit, and professors constantly complain they’re underpaid. Trying to make sense of this situation, Brown sophomore @alexkshieh emailed all 3,800+ administrators, asking a simple question: "What do you do all day?" Among the few responses he did get, one person replied "fuck you," and another told him to “stick an entire cactus up [his] ass.” Now, Shieh says Brown is investigating him for “emotional/psychological harm,” among other things. Today on PW, Alex tells his side of the story — and describes the aftermath. Link is threaded 👇
