I worked for many years freelance on teaching-only contracts for an American University (while working on my research basically as a hobby). As they pursued an AACSB accreditation, they needed a certain percentage of lecturers to be classified as Scholarly Academics (which depends on a certain publication quota). I happened to always meet the quota, but as once I got a delayed revise&resubmit, they got worried to the point of telling me that if I don't publish enough, I would no longer be offered teaching contracts. I replied that the contracts I am employed on paid me exclusively for the in-class hours and the very meeting I was pressured to attend with the Director of the Business School, while professional in nature, was outside the scope of my contract and that I was happy to do research, but it should be compensated. Has anybody else dealt with similar exploitation? Any avenue for raising awareness about this issue? Thanks!
