That’s a double-whammy: Not only are the college chiefs denying needed health care for the people who carry ACC’s teaching load, but the sneaky cut in hours means that these poorly-paid professors will also suffer a pay cut. It’s is the Walmartization of higher education, and it’s happening at all levels all across the country.
Did I mention that ACC provides full health coverage for the college’s president and other well-paid administrators who’re nixing coverage for the adjuncts? Now isn’t that a fine ethical lesson for students to absorb?
