Adjunct faculty pay is so low, it should be criminal.

For the amount of tuition charged for credit hours, adjunct faculty make peanuts...literally.

e.g. An institution might charge their college students $800-1200 per credit hour. So a 25 student 4 credit hr class yields $100k . Do you know how much they pay the adjunct to teach? $3500.

That includes grading, creating lesson plans, writing quizzes and exams, and office hours.

It should be a crime for how badly they are taking advantage of these adjuncts.

Yet conditions aren't improving and in this bad economy people are taking these roles...
