Good video. DePaul’s administration tells its adjuncts that they shouldn’t form a collective bargaining unit and join a union. When management tells its workers they don’t need to join a union, it means that it’s time for them to join one.
A Ph.D from a for-profit university like Capella is not well-respected in academia. It is not surprising that this adjunct professor cannot be hired as a tenure-track professor.
Byron Hsu where you graduate from does not matter. What’s important is your research track record and productivity . I’ve seen idiots from Yale and Harvard that are unable to publish 1 first author paper in a high impact journal. Don’t be a follower of institutional prestige, create your own
@@martinmcr83 You are right. But what institutions ought to do and what is actually done are two different things. It does matter where you graduated from when entering academia.
Why not teach in high school. I know u won’t be using ur PhD to the fullest, but at least ur getting a steady income and ur not in poverty. And your teaching !!!!
Emily, Matt, Julian, et al, Thank you for putting together such an engaging and revealing portrait of our situation. The credibility added by a full-time faculty member speaks volumes about the need for reform in terms of compensation and working conditions. Great job!
I was laid-off from a community college in New Orleans and told they was no position that suit my qualifications. Two days later, a position was offered to another employee that had not been at the institution as long as I have. I have been in the adjunct Hades ever since.
You wish student do no get impacted by the turned over of Adjuncts, but nothing more naive. Just wishing won't make it not happen. The TRUTH is that is not about the students it is about PROFITS. They don't care about the students, they think that if they stay profitable everything else will take care on of itself. Colleges are not supposed to profit.. students are the ones to profit. Don't You Get It!
These people sound very entitled. If you have a great resume then go work somewhere else. If no one else wants to hire you then your resume probably isn’t that great, or the degrees you got were worthless and tantamount to an expensive vacation. It’s unfortunate but these people need to pick up the pieces and change career directions

Very good film about secret and sad lives of community colleges.

That culbert guy is missing a few screws

I’m going to law school in 1 1/2 years. After I graduate, I am planning on working as an adjunct law professor. I’m not going do it for money though.

Who told you to get all these degrees ? Comeuppance is served here...my dear.
Am an Associate Lecturer in one of the local university here
This is their fault! No reason why these people can't get a good job!
Adjunct = serf.
