real dilemmas
that higher education faces
is
how to answer
the
excuse
that are CEOs and high administrators give
for why they will not give
a fair shake to adjuncts. And that is that there's not enough money in the budget.
That's an outright .. false... um, issue.
There's plenty of money in most of these universities and colleges.
huge buildings you take a look around washington
AU, GW, Georgetown they're investing in an enormous number of buildings
huge increases
in administrators, highly paid.
fifty or so
CEOs now of universities and colleges are getting over a million dollars
while the average
per course fee
for adjunct across the country is two thousand seven hundred dollars
most adjuncts who work full-time
uh... won't make more twenty five thousand year
this there is plenty
and when you look at university
budgets
we ought to be
more facile
an attorney
universities the and university forced
uh... to make them more transparent
increasing adjunct pay
to something like a living wage
probably would be no more than one one two percent for the entire budget
university
money is not the issue
it's where universities want to place their priorities
and where
trustees who are almost all corporate
say that what they think about
importance
the teaching staff
they don't have eddie oversight over academic
although worry about it is investments and
and raising money
