Why are American public universities run like businesses? In the US, many universities are public in that they're theoretically owned and operated by the government. Why is it then that they're allowed to set their own policy, salaries, hunt for alumni donations, build massive sports complexes, and focus on profitability over providing education as a public service and being more strictly regulated like elementary and high schools?

My guess is toxic capitalistism which has seeped through every single institution, ideology and thought in 'Merica. At least the gas price is low.

As a 30-year college prof and someone who spent a year on sabbatical in a business -- I can assure you that universities are *not* run like businesses. Businesses (at least the functional ones) pay attention to their customers, spend tons of resources developing products, and understand the idea that just because you were profitable in the past doesn't mean that you'll survive in the future. I have yet to come across a university that adopts that same set of behaviors.

We have somehow made it so that instead of employers paying employees during training, students and the government pay for their own job training at the expense of actual academics. I’m simplifying, but think about how far something Philosophy, once the cornerstone of academic disciplines, has fallen in favor. And it’s common to hear, through barely contained rage, “Why did you get a degree in gender studies instead of a business degree?” As if one were supposed to not learn academics in academia. Or, as once observed: “The bourgeoisie has stripped of its halo every occupation hitherto honoured and looked up to with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage labourers…It compels all nations, on pain of extinction, to adopt the bourgeois mode of production; it compels them to introduce what it calls civilisation into their midst, i.e., to become bourgeois themselves. In one word, it creates a world after its own image.” -Marx and Engels

Do professors appreciate simple email replies such as just a "thank you"? On one hand I would assume sending a quick "thank you" or a one-sentence appreciation would be polite. On the other hand I wonder if this would be annoying as it just clutters up your email more. So are there any guidelines on how I should respond to a professor's reply when only a simple appreciation/thank you is warranted?

Yup! A simple "thank you!" or "thanks, that cleared up my confusion/answered my question" is great. I once even had a student write me a physical thank you letter after I wrote them a rec letter. That was much appreciated. Now, if it was an email sent to half the college faculty and someone replies all, *that* gets me *mad* :)

Communication is *super important* \- letting us know you got our email is extremely helpful, esp. when it leaves a paper trail for *you* as well as *us.* I have had to send students reminders about assignments or whatever and the difference between making or not making a grade adjustment is that student demonstrates responsiveness and engagement. I get not every student has equal email access and some Professors explicitly *don't* like email, but in my class if I send you an email and you can respond, it goes a long ways.

On the other hand I wonder if this would be annoying as it just clutters up your email more. So are there any guidelines on how I should respond to a professor's reply when only a simple appreciation/thank you is warranted?

I’ll be disappointed if OP doesn’t reply thanks to each comment

It's far, far more likely that a professor won't read your long, detailed, and important email than that they will read your short, polite, and insignificant email and get upset about it. Their email accounts are already colossally cluttered.

Yes. When I graduated my PhD I sent a thank you mail to every prof whose classes I had attended and all of them unanimously liked it

Professor here. Literally any form of shorter communication is preferred (can I have an extension vs can I have an extension because of the following 17 things), and thank yous are huge.

Yup! A simple "thank you!" or "thanks, that cleared up my confusion/answered my question" is great. I once even had a student write me a physical thank you letter after I wrote them a rec letter. That was much appreciated. Now, if it was an email sent to half the college faculty and someone replies all, *that* gets me *mad* :)

A note of thanks regarding some particular kindness is nice, but please don’t send “thanks “ when for example you ask a question like, when is the assignment due and I say Tuesday.

Communication is *super important* \- letting us know you got our email is extremely helpful, esp. when it leaves a paper trail for *you* as well as *us.* I have had to send students reminders about assignments or whatever and the difference between making or not making a grade adjustment is that student demonstrates responsiveness and engagement. I get not every student has equal email access and some Professors explicitly *don't* like email, but in my class if I send you an email and you can respond, it goes a long ways.

Do professors appreciate simple email replies such as just a "thank you"? On one hand I would assume sending a quick "thank you" or a one-sentence appreciation would be polite. On the other hand I wonder if this would be annoying as it just clutters up your email more. So are there any guidelines on how I should respond to a professor's reply when only a simple appreciation/thank you is warranted?

Professor here. Literally any form of shorter communication is preferred (can I have an extension vs can I have an extension because of the following 17 things), and thank yous are huge.

I’ve always had positive responses to such emails.
|
It's far, far more likely that a professor won't read your long, detailed, and important email than that they will read your short, polite, and insignificant email and get upset about it. Their email accounts are already colossally cluttered.

I used to think the same when I was a student. Of course it will depend on the professor and some are more busy than others, but imagine the person that would get upset with a thank you. When in doubt, send the thank you. If it is a professor with whom you communicate very frequently and the thank you relates to a small matter, you might just incorporate the thank you into your next email response, rather than a separate thank you email.

I don't know if this count so be free to downvote this in the case my answer miss the point. I am not a member of academia but I can share my experience while I was working for a local museum. After Museum decided that my services are not in demand anymore (beside the fact that they promised me a full job, but instead it went to another one who had power and connections), I wanted to see director, main chief of department for which I worked and other museum staff. Since I wasn't able to see them all, I wrote a huge email to all of them in which I stated that this was a best period of my life, that I learn a lot for them and that I wish them all the best in their professional life. At the end, I wrote a separate sentence with only a little note: Thank you for everything. Based on received replies, they were positively surprised. In the end, you should definitely wrote a thank you email to somebody you think that help you a lot. I only use an email if I can't meet face to face with that person. Don't forget to add why you think that they helped you.

Do professors appreciate simple email replies such as just a "thank you"? On one hand I would assume sending a quick "thank you" or a one-sentence appreciation would be polite. On the other hand I wonder if this would be annoying as it just clutters up your email more. So are there any guidelines on how I should respond to a professor's reply when only a simple appreciation/thank you is warranted?

Acknowledgement of receipt of information is important to effectively communicating as a team. I'd rather receive a "Thanks." or "OK, got it." than no email at all.

Professor here - thank you emails are somewhat rare and always appreciated by me at least!

I usually choose one of the Gmail autoresponses. Or "Thank you!" Or a "Thank you so much!" To show enthusiasm

I used to think the same when I was a student. Of course it will depend on the professor and some are more busy than others, but imagine the person that would get upset with a thank you. When in doubt, send the thank you. If it is a professor with whom you communicate very frequently and the thank you relates to a small matter, you might just incorporate the thank you into your next email response, rather than a separate thank you email.

If you asked your prof a question in person, and they answered, would just turn around and walk away, or would you at least say thanks? Students are increasingly writing email to profs in the format of a text....remember text and email are not the same. Good question OP!

I don't know if this count so be free to downvote this in the case my answer miss the point. I am not a member of academia but I can share my experience while I was working for a local museum. After Museum decided that my services are not in demand anymore (beside the fact that they promised me a full job, but instead it went to another one who had power and connections), I wanted to see director, main chief of department for which I worked and other museum staff. Since I wasn't able to see them all, I wrote a huge email to all of them in which I stated that this was a best period of my life, that I learn a lot for them and that I wish them all the best in their professional life. At the end, I wrote a separate sentence with only a little note: Thank you for everything. Based on received replies, they were positively surprised. In the end, you should definitely wrote a thank you email to somebody you think that help you a lot. I only use an email if I can't meet face to face with that person. Don't forget to add why you think that they helped you.

Depends. "Thank you!" reads to me as sincerely appreciative. I love that. A full sentence without an exclamation point is also fine (eg "Thanks, I appreciate your quick response.") "Thank you." or "Thanks." sounds sarcastic, and even entitled. Basically, when you express thanks, make it seem sincere.
