University Research Survey on Architecture in Video Games

Hello there!

My name is Nick, an architecture student working on academic research for architecture in video games. For my research paper, I am working on exploring the cultural significance of architecture and environmental design in video games.

The purpose of this survey is to collect data to be discussed for a University course. Data will be discussed in the form of statistics with the exception of quotes from the open-response questions, which will be quoted anonymously if used. This survey will not take more than five minutes to complete. Reblogs would be highly appreciated, this topic means a great deal to me an any help would be also be appreciated! Thank you!

hello lovely tumblr users, I am here to ask that you take a moment of your time to look at this petition!

The petition describes the situation much better than I can, but some added info from someone who is seeing this happen in real time is that the administration of the college I attend is effectively firing up to 8 interim faculty members as we speak.

For a college this small, that is an unbelievable amount of faculty to lose. The majority of the interim faculty members that are at risk or have already lost their jobs devoted an unprecedented amount of physical and emotional labor towards making the college run during the pandemic, and for many that meant they were signed on for an extra two years than normal in order to help our college stay on its feet.

It is typical for interim (hence the name) faculty to only be with the college for a short time, but due to outstanding circumstances (the pandemic) they have become quite literally pillars of their respective departments, and of those I personally know and work with, the heart and soul of the college.

Losing them would destroy the stability of our school, and our school is making it unusually hard for these faculty members to reapply as either part-time faculty members or full-time core faculty members.

This all comes down to the fact that our administration has stated that they believe the individuals teaching the class do not make a difference in the students quality of education, only the curriculum.

Anyone on here who has had a bad professor, or a really truly good one, knows that is entirely, unequivocally, undeniably, not true.

The administration states that this was a "financial decision" (mind you our college is in the top 10 most expensive colleges in the state) and it is blatantly obvious they want to hire new part-time faculty members simply because it is cheaper to do so.

It may save money to fire the interim faculty now in the short run, but the loss of these faculty members that are now considerably less likely to be rehired will end up costing the college more money in the long run due to the instability caused by this decision.

So, I humbly ask, for the sake of my education and that of hundreds of other wonderful artists, please sign this petition and show our administration that you can't just treat educators like shit and get away with it.

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.

Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.
