@maya_sen RMP will still be there, along with word of mouth. Demand too much from students, and your courses may not “make.” And then you don’t get paid, if you’re an adjunct, as most are.

The easy way to get rigor back in university courses to get rid of anonymous student evaluations but nobody in university leadership wants to do that
Daniel Buck, “Youngest Old Man in Ed Reform”@MrDanielBuck
Harvard faculty report that they've had to "trim some readings and drop others entirely, switch from novels to short stories, and that it’s difficult to keep assigning reading in the face of increasing student complaints."

Internships indicate social class. That’s why they are essential.

When an entire generation of the best teachers and scholars are being pushed out of the academy, how can *anyone* defend the existing labor system? (Unless, of course, they're personally benefitting from it.)

This is why I firmly believe the tenure system should be abolished, because it punishes hardworking and productive non-tenure-track scholars while rewarding apathy and sloth for a small handful of tenured faculty.

In my four years at my current department, I have finished a book, published 1 journal article, 3 book chapters, and some reviews. I've taught an average of 4.5 classes/semester. 4 is supposed to be the maximum. I routinely score in the top 10% in student feedback.

The thing I say over and over again to my students who are interested in law school is that it's *just* a numbers game. Your GPA and your LSAT, and that's it.
And in order to get into a T14 law school you need *at least* a 3.9.

If a job requires a college degree, it shouldn’t pay under 50k.
Period.

@PhD_Genie We rarely have co-authors in the humanities. Those articles don’t really count. But there are field variations.

Fighting evil creates new evil.
That is the genius of evil.

@BTCBreadMan I'm a realtor. Buyers in competitive markets typically need to offer at least 10% above asking prices, even if those prices are not justified by comparative market analysis.
But is renting a better option?

Quitting a job is OK.
Moving on is OK.
Struggling is OK.
What's NOT okay is staying somewhere you're not valued and appreciated.

Some days I feel like I blinked and the world changed overnight.
Everything is faster, louder, more confusing… and I’m only in my 30s.
I can’t imagine what it feels like at 50+ trying to keep up with all this.
If that’s you… what keeps you steady? What keeps you sane?

@nickimoraa I retired at 54. The Boomers still ran everything.
