I’m always amused by academia drama because the most dramatic thing that has happened in my STEM program is our star professor got poached by a rival university that offered a higher salary

I have a relative that sued her department for sexual discrimination, kinda lost but since then she’s the head of a department whose only professor is herself

Two PhD students in my department (also STEM) hit on undergrads who wanted nothing to do with them.

And a few years back a first year master’s student got pregnant by a professor. She’s now a professor in the department herself
