Yeah, that adjunct "professor" gets $3000 themselves for all their hard work

i can't tell if this is sarcasm or agreement? i mean it's probably more than $3k but it's still a very small portion of $200k+
I worked as an adjunct about 10 years ago and ~$2k per class was the pay. With a full class load that came out to a little over $2k per month. Definitely more work than 90mins per week per class though. 4 courses per term was definitely a full-time job.

So yeah, not a lot of tuition is making it to the low rung teachers.
