Currently on 12 dissertation committees (including the 2.5 I’m chairing)… and a 13th is on the horizon. I know I should say no to some students, but it’s easier said than done.

Right there with you 😅. The thing that has helped me most is to set expectations. For ex: as minor member, I will only read the dissertation when it is complete. Or, as minor member, I will only read a chapter after your advisor has read it and you have implemented their suggestions.
Yes! It happens, especially to junior faculty, women, and minorities, because they are perceived as friendlier or more approachable. So important to protect your time 💓
