Question for those of you who currently teach at the University level.

3. Everything and anything...

I have been an adjunct (an issue all on its own) and in order to do the job properly in the hours necessary I calculated I was making less than minimum wage. I could not conscience putting in less work -- so I'm no longer an adjunct.

I believe our nation has lost its conscience, especially the new breed of neoliberals who have decided everything is about the money.
Everything for a dollar, anything for a dollar.

Our universities have been operating with "profit" motives instead if knowledge motives. One need only read up on how schools pushed up tuition in order to push student loans in order to get a percentage just as the Fed Gov does (gets a piece).

I've been disgusted to watch this happen in institutions of "higher learning," but it's no surprise, in a nation and a culture where it's-- Everything for a dollar, anything for a dollar. And conscienceless to boot.
