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 administration. In the seventies, the overabundant grduates were pushed into the community and junior colleges. Now, they are pushed into adjunctcy.
