<p>xiggi: I don’t think your tenured faculty relatives are representative examples. Basically what I see is tenured faculty becoming mentors-for-life to generations of students. I don’t think any of us could afford to pay hourly wages for that service. Adjuncts usually don’t have the luxury to provide that level of interaction. They don’t have the time and they don’t have the status to be particularly useful to students with job hunts, grad and prof school applications, research proposals, getting books published and so on and so on. (USUALLY - obviously there will be exceptions)</p>
<p>Let’s not even talk about the whole issue of academic freedom and whether it has any value whatsoever for society. </p>
<p>I agree with Sue that you’ll be getting your wish pretty soon. </p>
<p>After reading your posts for a very long time, and realizing your probable age, it just makes me so very sad you feel this way. I feel bad for you that you can’t see the value.</p>
