The new institutionalized racism
- Thread starter spaminator
- Start date
Consultants are usually given a higher workload because they have no tenure and are usually contract employees. Schools feel they can work them harder because they being paid under contract. (they're temps.) Mind you, the regular staff gets paid too (and better), but contractors aren't real employees in their eyes.

What I read was frightening the new establishment is takin shape the science isn't fiction anymore, have you noticed?
Really? What grad student consultants do? Any idea?
The rest of the faculty fills their heads full of bullshit and fluff while consultants get them ready for the real world.
That's generally how it goes. We could spend hours talking about what happens in those situations.
When my niece was in her first year of uni, I asked what her plans were. Teaching! As the time passed, she changed her mind. She got her BA (Hons) and started working on her masters. At the same time she was exposed to the primary school stream, working as a volunteer. One day, she asked me what it was like to teach and not just help out. She had become jaded.
"They haven't ever left school! They've never had a real job!"
Yes.
"And the unions control everything they do. There are several levels, like the Catholic board. Protestant. High school federation."
I know. And there are more than that. Welcome to the world of academia. If you stick around, it will only get worse, unless you can find a placid inner place to hide when they start talking.
Now she's looking for a public sector job. Still union, but better than the teachers, IMO.

You institutionalized yourself bud. Now go back to reading the Qur'an through the holes in the bed sheets.
