Resistance it futile.For if part-timers can do our job, what keeps the administration from letting part-timers teach any of the classes that guarantee we have a job as IES (sic) teachers?

Instead, if we think about ourselves as an entity</strong>, it should become apparent that hiring a part-timer to take over some of ‘our’ classes, no matter how experienced or qualified this part-timer may be, could potentially weaken our position as a unit, and the ‘value’ we represent to the university.Gaidai Culture Shockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10870848114820695281noreply@blogger.com
