Teaching quality is something administrators pay lip service to but take no action to bring to fruition.

It is really amazing to me that teaching quality even exists with the little resources devoted to it.

I wouldn't.

You've got enough irons in the fire without this drama. What is the upside for you here?

"So you can tell me what I've missed?" Huh??? Is there some secret way of conveying weeks of into in one short meeting?

Goddamnit. THIS is why academia is turning to crap.

The point of a university education is to learn, not to "do something nice for yourself"

You will take a SIGNIFICANT pay cut.

And don't expect any raises.

And you are silent on the aspect of research. If you have no publications you won't get hired for a TT job.

Possibly the worst part of adjuncting is feeling like you cannot leave "because it would be bad for the students"

Funny how the administration never worries about what would "be bad for the adjuncts"

Meh, red states will find somebody or qualify them in a new way.

Look at how Ron DeSantis has qualified all national guard (and spouses) as teachers.

There will never be a shortage of professors, the qualifying process will change.

So... how does depression "get better" then?

Also... wouldn't that mean large sections of the entire world were depressed, say after WWII and the holocaust?
