I think this whole discussion is unfortunate if it simply diminishes into hurling insults and criticisms. Many part-timers or sessionals are very capable but because of the competitive nature of the work environment now may not so easily slip into a full-time or tenure track position. The result

Ah, Payam, building a new library is far more "sexier" than issuing pay raises. And, as far as the increase in student enrollment is concerned, the paradox is that the more students attend a public school, the more it costs the State. Make it a good day.

That is quite an assumption you make... that is, that if a full-time position openned up, you'd get it. I'll bet that when full-time positions do open up, they are pretty competitive. I am currently chairing a search committee for our dept. that has drawn about 85 applicants. At 01:21 PM 10/

Payam, that adjuncting is a deliberate undermining of the tenure system by administrators is a gross assumption. The truth is that the law of supply and demand is in force; there are budget crunches; there is an increase in enrollment; and, yes, there is a weakened moral core in both faculty and
