The irony of the ranking of Dr. CS's allowances across the United States is full.

Recently, someone has set up a ranking of allowances for computer doctors in the United States.

You really don't have to say that you have never seen only the ranking of university funding or the ranking of scientific research strength, and the large ranking of this kind of subsidy is really rare.

Some netizens said that this is actually very important, after all, not everyone can use love to generate electricity.

Project address: https://csstipendrankings.org National computer PhD Allowance ranking the following picture shows the 48 American colleges and universities that participated in this ranking. (still in continuous update)

The first column, Stipend, refers to the annual allowance that doctoral students receive, and Fees refers to expenses such as insurance. The third column is the cost of living, and the last column is the balance.

Among them, the cost of living "Living Cost" refers to the minimum amount needed to make ends meet in the area where you live, provided by "MIT Living Wage Calculator". This is why the cost of living varies greatly from school to school because of different geographical locations.

The school with purple name on the list is private, while green is public.

At present, the data in the form is not the most perfect, some colleges and universities do not include summer allowances, and some are marked with Summer at the back.

The above half are schools that still have a balance after paying the cost of living.

At the top of the list is Princeton University, which earns an annual allowance of 48000. Although the cost of living is not low, it still has a small allowance of 10, 000.

Of the 17 schools, the highest subsidy is actually Northeastern University (located in Massachusetts), which has 50,000 yuan a year. But excluding the cost of 869 yuan and the cost of living as high as 50,000, the balance was only ranked 14th. The cost of living of 46993 is also the highest among these schools.

In addition to Northeastern University, the cost of living at New York University's Courant School also exceeded $46000, but the balance was guaranteed by a modest allowance (48036).

From the 18th to the 48th, these 31 schools are students who have to spend money to go to school. From the $841 MIT to the University of California, Santa Cruz, you have to post 20, 000 dollars less.

There are many reasons for the overdraft of student allowance in these schools. on the one hand, the allowance given by the school is already low.

For example, Arizona State University (No. 46 in total), University of Texas at Dallas (No. 45 in total), Purdue University (No. 38 in ECE and No. 41 in CS), etc., all have subsidies of about $25000 or less. Coupled with the low cost of living, the balance is negative.

On the other hand, there are also some schools whose subsidies are not low, but the cost of living is too high.

This is represented by Stanford Summer University (No. 24 overall), with a subsidy of $52560, which is even higher than Northeastern University ($50000). But let's take a look at the cost of living, $55396, just for nothing.

Of course, there are some schools that charge very high fees in addition to the cost of living. North Carolina State University (No. 43) charges as much as $4078, plus not-so-high allowances and not-so-low living expenses. The upside-down cost for students reached $11680.

The main point is an irony at the end of the project, the author said: "this ranking is both informative and ironic." the aim is to let people know how the work done by doctoral students in computer science and related fields will be rewarded-in most cases, underpaid. "

In response, some netizens complained: "what does it mean that most cases are not enough? have you ever seen a doctoral student who is not overworked and underpaid?" "

Professors from Princeton University took the opportunity to promote their own school as No.1.

The University of California, sure enough, however, has to focus on the University of California.

After all, there was an academic strike at the University of California last year, which lasted for several weeks, because faculty and students thought that the salary offered by the university was too low, the cost of living was too high, and they had to pay crazily.

We can see from the table that several campuses of the University of California: San Diego (No. 31), Santa Barbara (No. 44) and Santa Cruz (No. 48). No one can pull a hip. No wonder there was the scene at the end of last year.

Academic strike in November last year, a general strike broke out at the University of California, involving more than 48000 people.

This strike is one of the largest strikes in the United States in recent years, and it is also the largest academic strike in the field of higher education in American history.

Half a year later, the scene of faculty and students marching through UCLA is still fresh in my mind.

At that time, the voices of hundreds of strikers resounded across the vast campus: "University of California, University of California, you can't hide!" We can see your greedy side! "

At that time, a large number of faculty took to the streets to protest, and the scientific research, teaching and daily office work of many campuses of the University of California, such as Berkeley, Los Angeles and San Diego, had been seriously disrupted.

Some of the affected campus final exams have even cancelled courses and closed laboratories. Other academic activities have also been interrupted.

What is even more outrageous is that in order to pay the rent, some graduate students exposed that they wanted to "sell blood." they went to and from the blood donation center twice a week, only to subsidize their income and earn a few taels of silver.

Jacob Kemner, a Ph.D. student in environmental studies at the University of California, Riverside, earned about $28000 a year. He donated plasma twice a week, earning about $200 in additional income.

"I make a living by selling plasma," Kemner said. "I can't work effectively because I have to spend six to 10 hours commuting to and from the plasma donation center. "

As a result, after weeks of strikes and repeated rounds of negotiations, the University of California raised wages appropriately and subsidized students who rent.
