Buttigieg, Sanders and Warren support making public colleges and universities free for some, if not all, students, as do candidates who did not qualify

It's okay, so long as all college professors teach for free, and all college administrators and staff work for free. Oh, and some utility company has to provide the free electricity. And the book publishers have to provide free books.

We can make this work.

Funny.

First step, seriously, is trim about half of all “administration” and “executives” at community colleges and universities. Been teaching at a community college for over 5-yrs now, adjunct, and pay raises not seen since I started teaching there, BUT, the number of administrators has sky-rocketed and their pay has too.

Had a couple of administrators decided to “rate” each other and then both gave the other a hefty pay raise. Then these guys gave each other a new title (chancellor) and of course, more pay goes along with that.

Oh, and this college no longer hires full-time instructors. Adjunct cost less and you don’t have to provide benefits. Occasionally they will “hire” someone for full-time but only if they decide to place that person into a chair position or higher.

Where are the Trustees? Absent.
