[quote=Anonymous]I’m a former professor who left, and I now work in an academia-adjacent field. I still go to a lot of conferences and interact with many faculty members through my job. To generalize, they are stressed out, deeply concerned for their students and the challenges many of them face (mental health, student debt, etc), and extremely pessimistic about the state of the profession and the direction things are going. They are worried about the increasing reliance on adjuncts, erosion of academic freedom, and crumbling of shared governance. At the same time, they tend to be dedicated teachers and - in many cases- active scholars. . . when they have the time. There is definitely a sense that too much of their time is eaten up by often-pointless service requirements.[/quote]
