[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make six figure salaries, get summers off and fall and spring breaks, and BS “sabbaticals all for teaching two one hour classes. Boo freaking hoo. [/quote]

I made $2,000 a class at George Washington University. [/quote]are you an adjunct?[/quote]

That is a la carte pay at a rate a few years old, but not like a generation old.  The part-time colleagues in academia deserve everything that can be done on their behalf, because they have all of the work and none of the privileges.  Someone who takes on a p/t class in the evening after working a f/t job all day is giving more than they need to give; someone who teaches p/t across multiple institutions or puts together a contract-based living wage sure as heck isn't doing it for the money.  The question isn't whether an institution has adjuncts--they all do--but rather how those adjuncts are treated.  If they are given the professional and personal respect they deserve, that says a lot about a school.
