[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3236426, member: 10465"] A comment in regards to the number of classes taught, at a lot of colleges, and I have worked at 4, an individual’s pay is at least partially if not mostly tied to credit hours taught. That is of course in addition to the other things that many do. Some may choose to teach just 1 course, it’s not at all uncommon to find adjuncts who do so. It’s a side gig for some, for others, they pick up extra course sections once others are filled. So don’t think the majority of full time faculty are only working a few hours per week, and making big bucks because they’re not. Some of the highly educated folks, even here, in little old Oklahoma, are recognized leaders in their academic field and as already stated, the expectations of research and publication weigh heavily on them. The majority of waste across the board lies squarely with the administrative layer. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Or too many Generals and not enough soldiers if you want to be politically correct; I don’t particularly think it’s that big of a deal. Students succeeding should be the goal, not building new admin office spaces or providing fancy perks for the Big Wigs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
