[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read that something like 70 percent of college faculty were adjuncts. How is out possible that they are treated so poorly? Is it better on unionized campuses? And if your campus has a union, do you need to join?[/quote] Your statistic is correct--not necessarily adjuncts but not tenured or tenure-track so that leaves room for contract positions such as teaching professors, visiting assistant profs and others who teach on a yearly or slightly longer contract. Some schools are unionized but it also means dues come out of your already meager adjunct paycheck. College tuition is getting crazy expensive but the money goes to facilities and other eye candy that attract students on college tours. More applicants means higher rejection rate which means higher ranking. The American university system is in crisis. [/quote]
