I'm glad the Rutgers strike is over.

[NNadir]

My son works there, but is not faculty (yet) although he seems to have a path to some kind of adjunct role.

Right now his status is "contractor," no benefits, long hours, but decent pay.

He worked through the strike but of course, although he wasn't in the union, he had great sympathy for it.

Apparently the finances of the university were screwed by worship of football and membership in the so called "Big Ten."

They were the only school not to offer my youngest son a workable scholarship; a private university gave him the equivalent of about 50K a year.

Football!?! What the hell were they thinking. They don't support engineers (or artists) but they love turning out victims of CTE.

I'd be pissed if I were an adjunct there.
