I enroll in "9 credit hours" of graduate-level research every semester in my private school. It's about $25k in "tuition". I have no fucking idea why or how I'm costing a grant $50k+ each year while I live several hours away from the school, I no longer have an office on campus, I require no university services, and my university-sanctioned advisor has farmed me out to our project's principal investigator. The university is earning more than twice what I receive in the form of my research stipend, and it does literally nothing. Academia deserves to fail.
