I should read Blogenspiel more often. Perhaps we all should. Not just on the adjunct “crisis” but on the Adler issue and surely, on more.
Easily Distracted also has a good post on the adjunct “crisis.” It is not just new workers vs. artisans, though, I intuit: it is also graduate students against each other, and against faculty.
I remember those days in which people had imaginary battles over jobs. It was another graduate student’s fault; it was the fault of someone who had not retired yet.

I just got off the phone after talking to an adjunct at a very low level community college. He says that they are downsizing and eliminating everywhere while trying to maintain what feeble vestiges of prestige they have.
That is the modern way…
