Excellent article. And I was struck by the big UMUC ad in the center of the page -- a very high fraction of UMUC faculty are adjuncts!
I don't suppose it will occur to her that she has none of this because others have all of it. Yup! Legislation is the answer. More taxpayer money is the answer. Strap them down and have the bloodletting begin. The evil spirits are in the body of the taxpayer and not the body of the educator.
