- The concept of "billionaire" administrators drinking champagne and protesting "improvements" for part time faculty.
- job security
- equal pay for equal work
- benefits
- inclusion in the campus community
- Students don't deserve instructors who have office hours
- who have professional development
- who are paid to grade student papers
- who have paid prep time
- all of which full time faculty have (and more)
- only 1 in 5 students is entitled to meet with an instructor and get help with problems
- it's very OK for a student to meet an instructor next to a trash can, in the hallway, or in the instructor's automobile.
- Students aren't entitled to learn through the class schedule which instructor might not offer them full service from the district
- students don't deserve equality and what they don't know won't hurt them
- student success at community college campuses is dropping due to lousy educational service but everyone should blame part time faculty as lousy instructors . . . not the administration for failing to provide equal service
- if the budget goes bad, cut classes and PT faculty, not administrative budgets.
