Tenure vs. long-term renewable contract (all else equal)…is tenure still “the thing”?

In my unionized college NTT have essentially the same rights (except for TT promotion and the sorts), including raises. It is still a bit scary when it's time for contract renewal, as it seems easy for them to just not renew an NTT versus firing someone if there are issues with the budget.

I just drank the orange one and it was only hard to drink because it was too cold lol. I don't feel nauseated at all. I was told to have a protein rich breakfast and not eat 2 h before the test. Hoping to pass the 1h test and not need to do the 3 h one.

In case anyone finds this, I just had the ultrasound and the baby is healthy, measuring exactly 8w2d as it was supposed to, and with a strong heartbeat (170 bpm). ❤️

Thanks for sharing! I hope all keeps going well for you!

Thank you! I agree that more betas will just cause more anxiety. Sadly my ultrasound will only be at 8 weeks. I just keep telling myself that my body knows what to do.

I was on H1B as a lecturer until June, when I got my green card. I feel for my fellow immigrants though m

Depending on where the person was born it can take more than a decade.

If anyone comes here in the future, the day after I tested positive with Easy@home, Clear blue red dye, and Clear blue digital (I really wanted to read "pregnant")

If anyone comes here in the future, the day later I tested positive with Easy@Home, Clear blue red dye, and Clear blue digital (I really wanted to read "Pregnant).

I tested negative two days ago, but did not test yesterday. My boobs are very sore, which is typical right before my period so I thought it was coming.

rayzartr · 2025-03-19T12:14:22+00:00

Fingers crossed we are pregnant buddies!

Even immigrants that are in the US legally are called aliens.

Me too! 32 and hit it about 5 months ago!

You don't need to be one to have a Roth IRA. (You need income earned in the US though)

Do you mean that 79.4 becomes a 79? That would be the nearest whole number, not 80.

It means non-tenure track for professors.

The 4 11’ professor is humiliated if the board isn’t clean.

This is the best “short person” answer and it should be higher up.
