An extremely unofficial student campaign

JUSTICE
FOR KYLE.

He can balance a chemical equation.
Someone please balance this man's life.

Three schools. Too much grading. A little heartbreak. Our chemistry professor deserves a better reaction.

Stand with Kyle

MORE SLEEP. BETTER PAY. LESS EMOTIONAL DAMAGE.
Affectionate parody. Very real appreciation.

MAN REST.
JUSTICE FOR KYLE ✳ PROTECT HIS PEACE ✳ FUND HIS NAPS ✳ RESPECT THE CHEMISTRY
01 / The case for Kyle

The workload is ionic.
The situation is not.

The highly dramatized student version of events. No lab report can adequately explain these vibes.

EXHIBIT A / THE WORKLOAD

Three schools. One Kyle.

Teaching here. Teaching there. Grading everywhere. The man is performing an academic world tour without the world-tour paycheck.

EXHIBIT B / THE CHEMISTRY

The wrong kind of bond.

In the student-lore version, a girl hurt his feelings. Kyle's response? More work. Unfortunately, you cannot titrate your way out of heartbreak.

EXHIBIT C / THE SLEEP

Rest is the limiting reagent.

Avoid the feelings. Open the gradebook. Repeat. Our completely unscientific conclusion: he needs some sleep and a paycheck that respects the syllabus.

Kyle + endless grading + unresolved feelings → needs a break

02 / Our very reasonable demands

A better formula
for Kyle.

  • 01A full night's sleep. No grading dreams.
  • 02Pay that matches the three-school effort.
  • 03Healing that isn't another pile of lab reports.
  • 04Chemistry with someone who reciprocates.

Be part of the reaction.

A symbolic show of support for our favorite overworked chem professor. No money. No actual petition. Just solidarity.

One small click for you. One imaginary nap for Kyle.

03 / The photographic evidence

A face worth fighting for.

The legend, in his element.
Even chemistry needs a pause.

Manifesting this for him.

Good professor. Bad equilibrium.

Let's shift things in Kyle's favor.
