Economics department is terrible- faculty couldn't get a job anywhere else and don't care about teaching. They don't understand the difference between something being busy work and something being hard. Also, completely out of touch with the real world or what motivates people. The department operates in a shell that has no interaction with the other departments on campus. Racist, sexist and ageist beliefs were openly expressed by several faculty, and there was a great deal of victim shaming and inappropriate sharing/boundaries regarding students. Administrative staff throughout UH is on the whole atrocious- you're just a number, and most seem annoyed that they have to interact with you at all. No one is looking out for you, and there is no way to resolve any issues with finances/pay or poor treatment. In dealing with the parking office, I don't think I've ever met more self-absorbed, people hating employees. Also, the school only cares about sports, the engineering department and the business school. If you are not directly involved in any of these programs- GO TO ANY OTHER SCHOOL IN HOUSTON/TEXAS/ANYWHERE!
