Higher Ed Flim-Flam

Putting a Price on Professors - WSJ.com:

"...To critics, that isn't enough. They see a system in which some tenured professors teach just two or three classes a year, sometimes on obscure topics that mesh with their research but not necessarily with student needs. At the same time, more instruction is handled by part-time lecturers, who now make up at least 50% of the nation's higher-education faculty—up from 30% in 1975, according to the American Association of University Professors..."

Screwing part-timers is taught as good business in education schools so is it any surprise that they do? If you read this report, you will notice not one word concerning the vastly over-priced management apparatus suffocating higher education.
