AcaRevival Initiative
You Are Not Alone.
A movement to break the silence in academic supervision — and rebuild something better.
Have you ever been verbally abused by your supervisor?
Have you watched a colleague's despair as their funding was suddenly cut without warning?
Do you feel the system is slowly disciplining you into the very person you once despised?
The pain you carry — the sleepless nights, the self-doubt, the grief you couldn't explain to anyone outside academia — only you truly know its weight. The people around you may have looked away. Some may have even turned on you, telling you it's your fault, that you're “not strong enough,” that you should have known better.
We know that's not true. And we know it was never your fault.
The founders of RateMySupervisor understand every tear you've held back in a meeting, every anxious morning before a check-in, every moment of helpless rage with nowhere to go. We see how kind you are. We see how brilliant you are. And we are heartbroken that the system has treated your talent as disposable.
“If you or someone you know is living through this — please help us fight back.”
— The RateMySupervisor Team
We Are Building an Academic Weapon.
Not a petition. Not another forum. A real, lasting instrument of change — one that:
- ✓Gives survivors the power to stand tall and reclaim their dignity.
- ✓Exposes the silent bystanders — the colleagues and administrators who looked away.
- ✓Makes harmful supervisors face real, public accountability.
- ✓Celebrates and elevates the supervisors who are genuinely doing it right.
AcaRevival is quietly in preparation. This is not just a new feature — it's an act of healing and resistance against a broken academic culture.
