[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Universities often tout the benefits they give adjuncts, such as free courses or access to fitness centers, as if those things were salary equivalent. Meanwhile adjuncts need to dedicate full-time hours to their work for pay that is often less than $25k/yr. for full-time work in major cities ($1500-$1800 per course for PT work). With the hours that they work, there aren’t many other part-time jobs that one can take to supplement academic income, except in the bar/restaurant industry. You’d better be childless, energetic, and not disabled! [/quote] Or have a spouse that makes better money.[/quote] Nope. Fair pay is fair pay. A job stands on its own or not at all. You can’t have a job that discriminates against single people, people who need to get out of abusive relationships, widows/widowers, etc.[/quote]
