UT really should talk-up its relationship with ORNL a lot more than we do. We've managed the world's fastest super-computer for ages but very few know about it. It made sense that it was a bit lowkey back when most weren't so dependent of computers but times have changed and it's something the university has access to and manages that is really worth bragging about outside of the smaller circles of academia.

The new director at ORNL has made it harder to get hired there as a UT grad. Believes there is too much academic inbreeding with ORNL and UT.

Screw him. It's a partnership for God's Sake. That's not changing any time soon. I bet you anything if that was publicly well-known that attitude would change. Tennessee reps. tend to sit on various DOE boards in congress regardless of whether they're Ds or Rs.

It isn’t directly. He’s made it harder to transition from graduate research or post-graduate research into a full time position, but since a lot of those are UT students, UT is disproportionately affected.

This has happened at several depts. that think UT isn't good enough (and UT isn't alone in this - other large universities do it too). It's all under the guise of academic inbreeding but my argument has always been that if it's so awful why do all the Ivies hire within? Do you think Cal Tech turns down Cal Tech grads or that MIT turns down MIT grads? Harvard is so inbred it has 3 arms. It's nothing but bs and a lot of it comes from burn out from dealing with undergrads rather than grad students but undergrads will try you no matter where you are teaching. I've taught the smart kids at UT and the smart kids from Harvard and there's no difference. The difference comes at the mid and lower level students but those aren't the ones that go on to grad school.

Yes. Beat him by 26 in year one and beat him in year two. Bruce didn’t go to the NCAAT until year 4 at Auburn but some are blind to that.

I didnt realize Barnes had beat him. Time is flying. I love our coach and he is respected. I see these COY talks, and it's obvious Pearl isn't.

UT Batelle is the agency that manages the supercomputer and they are who I work for. Not truly a UT entity

I don't see why favoritism should be shown toward hiring a certain group, without them having some specific skill or excelling in some area, over anyone else. Why should ORNL give preferential treatment toward UT graduates?
