I am an adjunct in a professional school. The students like my class because I have actually practiced in the area. They make snide remarks about the other professors having no practical experience. I receive little salary and contribute a significant amount to the school's overhead. Tenured faculty do not teach many classes and get paid 50 times what I receive. I do not believe the report. It is very self-serving. I do agree that schools are loaded with administrators and wonderful facilities.

There are certainly many wonderful adjunct instructors, many who do a much better job than full-time faculty as they come with teaching experience in high school and practical work experience. They also work without health coverage, not great pay and constant pressure to lower standards.

My point, which I should have made clearer, is that many schools have lost all sight of what their purpose is. It’s not to build more facilities, swankier dorms, holding sporting events, diversity rallies, etc. it’s to educate the students.
