Adjunct Professors / High College Tuition

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8283]

Many American university students will spend up to $200,000 (or more) to get a bachelor’s degree. At the same time, many universities will save money on faculty salaries by hiring adjunct professors. So instead of paying a full time professor $60,000 for the school year, they’ll pay a couple of part-time adjunct professors $10,000.

Wouldn’t it make sense to LOWER THE TUITION with these savings so more students will apply to these glorious institutions of higher learning?

In spite of all the rhetoric I hear from politicians and social justice warriors about creating some kind of equal status in my society, there are still economic injustices that may never be resolved. The cost of living is a challenge for those among the poor and middle-class. Some people spend half of their salaries on rent. If a student does not qualify for grants, loans, or any other kind of financial aid, what is (s)he to do? The answer seems to be: get a job and settle for less. Perhaps they can spend 10 years saving up for college (if the tuition doesn’t get much higher).

It seems to me that rich people, more than ever, continue to get the best that this country has to offer: the best schools, the best career opportunities, the best service, and the best conveniences to make their lives easier while others have to endure very difficult struggles to make up for what they lack. Some high school students are more likely to get into an Ivy League university because their fathers are members of an exclusive country/yacht club instead of their SAT scores.

Here are some interesting articles about adjunct professors:

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

I’m not surprised. College is basically a scam. I could tell right away that these f~~~ers were ripping me off. First clue was when over half of my classes were none related to my EE degree. Second clue was when the professors treated me like I was their employee not their employer. Third clue was finding out about the adjunct professors. F~~~ College!

A college degree is a rich person’s permit to tell the poor they do not should not an opinion on topics.

I disagree that a woman is better than me because she burned a hundred thousand dollars to get a college degree in “women’s studies”, a college course that would be more accurately described as, “why I should love my own pussy”.

Sometime in the next 20 years universities will dramatically change. What we are seeing now are the last flames of an antiquated system that will change. Like mechanical adding machines. Or physical maps and books. Or depositing checks in person.

We will still need physical learning centers. However that will mostly be for the social interactions. Not for the learning. The learning will be done online in courses tailored for people to take at their own speed.

CUNY president resigned in shame made, can’t say earned, 480,000 dollars plus a 90K living allowance. CUNY was founded on the premise of education made affordable for the masses. Right. The money is always funneled efficiently to the useless idiots at the top. I refused debt for non education back in the ’80s and will never pay for another college course in this life.

My favorite examples of what needs to change in this regard are the whole systems of “stock markets”, financial trickery and banking in general. Enough money has been stolen by those not doing any work to make me a non-participatory member of society. When those making the money are using the tools and not sitting in expensive cafes we may then start on the school tax ripoff to single mothers. F~~~ college, f~~~ wall street, f~~~ bankers as a whole. For that matter, f~~~ me for another rant. Ha. In the end it is all f~~~ed and will come crashing down around all the stupid suits, who will then look for a way to make you and I pay for it all. Talk to the Mossberg when you ask for a bail in for banksters or any other legal form of theft.

Funny story about that. I was actually in College taking a bulls~~~ Economics 201 class during that 2008 Bail Out. My professor was this effeminate nagging mangina. He would say things like “The government has never lied about anything” and “we have to bail the banks out or the economy will collapse.” I just laughed at him, stood up and walked out. Then I only showed up for the exams, which an 8 year old boy could have aced. He hated me so very much. LOL. Those Bail Outs were the greatest swindle I have ever lived through. Wall Street robbed the US Treasury/Taxpayers. The sad thing about it…Probably will happen again in a few decades. F~~~ the Banksters! They have never worked an honest day in their life.

I really think that when the collapse happens, it will be the tradesmen that have built an economy around themselves who have the actual value. I won’t be those who hold a college degree.

When you give universities access to unlimited amounts of money. In the form of goverment backed student debt, why the f~~~ would they lower tuition?

My dad was a university professor who moved into the university administration. They had a ton of vice chancellors for this and that, hardly worth anything. Universities are badly top-heavy. My alma mater doesn’t even like recruiting students in-state, since the state is relatively poor. They go out of state, recruiting in wealthy suburbs of Chicago or Denver or Dallas, since those students will pay more tuition, are more likely to land good jobs, and therefore donate as adults.

It’s not just a problem in higher education. Hospitals discovered they could save money by paying for a couple of part-time nurses instead of a full-time nurse with full-time benefits. I’ll bet those hospital administrator salaries aren’t dropping either.
