#adjuncts
Indiana Jones will be played by a rotating cast of three adjuncts who answer to two different associate deans

Meanwhile human adjuncts are $20,000 per *year*
OPENAI BELIEVES IT CAN CHARGE $20,000 PER MONTH FOR DOCTORATE-LEVEL AI- THE INFORMATION

“My ability to feed email text into LLMs is why I earn $6 million a year while adjuncts earn $35,000”
Oh, just reading about how this college president uses AI in academic leadership and wondering why, exactly, they need such salaries?

"Universities now have more adjuncts than tenured and tenure-track professors combined. Many adjuncts make around $4,000 a course, and a quarter of adjuncts make less than $25,000 a year. In no city in the United States is this enough money to live off comfortably."

Adjuncts who actually teach the classes: not in picture, not invited to meeting. Busy actually teaching the classes.
assistant professor, associate professor, grad student

🔥Middle Strike in action: how the enemy loses $100 million worth of equipment

Border guards of the Phoenix unit, together with their adjuncts, discovered and hit the enemy's Nebo-U radar station.

There was very little outcry when voicing support for trans people became a fireable offense for adjuncts. Now we're pretty much abandoning the principle that academic thought shouldn't be dictated by conservative governments.

And when grad students and adjuncts even in the SOUTH are advocating with and joining university staff unions.

Presumably Hegseth wants to see adjuncts fighting to the death in an arena.

Yes, let’s cut the bloated salaries of adjuncts who get paid $2000/class with no benefits. That’s why tuition is so high.

one small point- we actually need our older tenured faculty to stay bc they won’t be replaced - and the place will fall apart w/o them. Adjuncts can’t run programs

That moment you realize you could pay over a thousand adjuncts' salaries for a semester with the money a title I university spends on their football coach 🫠

it's comforting and easy to financialize markets to talk about these topics in a detached and seemingly rational manner but the world's ability to feed billions of people is predicated on a stable supply of Nitrogen adjuncts. It's genocidal via 2nd and 3rd order impacts

Omg I AM DYING. 36 replies in 24 minutes. This is hitting faculty in Abu Dhabi, Shanghai, tenured, contract, adjuncts. Someone has started a SECOND email chain, back to the same listserv, asking to be removed from the email list

It is grimly comical that with some of the largest online platforms now basically open adjuncts of the Trump administration they can still whine about “big tech censoring conservatives” with a straight face.
Here's the Heritage Foundation all-in on repealing Section 230 so that litigious Christian nationalists can dictate the speech rules for the entire Internet

It's so embarrassing so many Dems are falling for this www.teenvogue.com/story/some-d...

Contingents are paid poverty wages!

"Nearly a third of the 3,000 adjuncts surveyed for the report earn less than $25,000 a year. That puts them below the federal poverty guideline for a family of four. Another third of respondents make less than $50,000."

New report says many adjuncts make less than $3,500 per course and $25,000 per year

@grundrza.bsky.social also reflects on the fact that exploiting existing inequalities between tenure track and adjunct faculty makes it easier to implement censorship. Without workplace protections, adjuncts can't refuse to teach censored books.

amazing what universities will do to not pay adjuncts
“…ASU plans to use ChatGPT to build personalized AI tutors and offer writing help to students in one of its largest classes, Freshman Composition.” 🫠
OpenAI launches partnership with ASU, allowing full use of ChatGPT
It comes as schools at all levels grapple with whether and how to embrace generative AI.

For the adjuncts out there - $2,206 per 10-week course is ridiculously low, right?
January 4, 2025 at 12:08 AM
so you’re saying adjuncts finally get paid vacation time during the school year
From the Oklahoma U student paper: the school is now saying it will automatically suspend faculty (with pay) in response to student complaints

My wife and I are adjuncts; don’t think this affects us much but ofc: solidarity ✊🏼

If any Harvard or Columbia adjuncts have left/been cancelled under this new anti-DEI wave -- and want to join my resistance education efforts -- DM me.

But we can’t pay adjuncts a living wage.
