Adjunct Life of Inservitude & Incivility!

Incivility? Inservitude?  Why would an academic accept the low wages, no benefits and last classes on the assigned list?  How many terminal graduate degrees and years of experience teaching qualifies any adjunct lecturer to actually be invited to 'interview' for that golden apple, that brass ring - the full-time position?  When will adjuncts across the country - put their heads out the window and yell at the top of their voices - “I’m as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' - as Paddy Chayefsky so effectively wrote for his character in Network.

-to be continued - am writing my Union Rep & others to mobilize & move forward for an actual professional life in teaching in higher.ed - time to 'pause' and will continue later.

Namaste. jkcosmos
