In reply to the discussion: The story behind Melania's message on her jacket: [View all]KPN
(15,642 posts)34. As at least a partial explanation for the
journalistic media letting us down or betraying us in this regard, whichever it may be, you are spot on.
Looking back on my education in the 70s, adjunct professors were pretty much limited to PhD candidates, or professionals working their career outside of academia who were contracted to teach special curricula/classes here and there. They werent the norm. And yet the costs have rocketed 4 or 5 times as fast as wages and inflation.
Its almost criminal, but certainly sociologically irresponsible and immoral.
Im ready to storm the Bastille.
