... colleges are reducing "part-time" faculty members' assignments. Because faculty are not hourly workers, this is meant to guarantee that these professors will not be eligible for employer-provided healthcare. It will also reduce these professors' incomes just when they will be responsible for purchasing their own insurance under the new law.
In other words, rather than fulfilling their responsibility under the letter and spirit of the law, most colleges are instead employing legal loopholes and manipulating definitions of faculty work in order to avoid it.

What is "sneaky" is that:
1) Obama broke his promise to have health care negotiations on C-SPAN.
2) Obama broke his promise that you could keep your health care if you liked it.
3) Obama broke his promise to wait five days before signing Obamacare.
4) Nancy Pelosi said we had to pass the bill to find out what was in it.
5) The mainstream media ignored the predictions of Obamacare critics, and now the mainstream media is falsely calling these colleges "sneaky" for doing the exact same things that the critics predicted before Obamacare was even passed.
6) The media refuses to blame this problem on the actual cause - Obamacare.

Socialism's entry into society by nature is sneaky.
I work at a university.
I can’t tell you the screwing we are getting.
Sarcasm or you really can't tell us?
Somehow, this will be used to justify hikes in tuition so they can afford to reduce faculty members.
Obama will easily nip this in the bud. He’ll bypass the congress and the constitution by issuing an executive order correcting the congress’s “loophole” and disallow downgrading full-time employees to part-time as an effort to subvert HIS law.
You are right. There is nothing sneaky about what the colleges are doing in regard to healthcare. What is sneaky is how much of the actual teaching is done by the adjunct professors who are getting shafted by this.
I am guessing you are working at one of those universities where the head football coach makes between $2 and $6 million a year?
Market Forces at Work.
BS
Most sessional lecturers never were eligible for health insurance and other benefits. Universities have been screwing over their part-time instructors for years.
THis is a bs article.
The big money in universities is in administration. Not in full-time faculty nor in part-time faculty. Fulltime do get benefits. PTs never did. In between are fulltime non-tenure-track who do get benefits but are on renewable term contracts.
You have to remember that the only goal of the Left at this point is to overwhelm the system so they can start weeding their garden of undesirables with "assault rifles," after which they get to live in the Walden paradise of their dreams.
That's why they don't want us to have any "assault rifles." They might get hurt while killing us.
It’s okay, most of these profs voted for Obama and wanted Obamacare. Now they’ll be able to go directly into the wonderful exchanges. No worries for them. THey will love it, this is what they wanted and thought was the right way to do health care in America.

I suspect that a lot of those in the college community are going to be getting what they voted for and they won’t like it — professor, student and others.
They’ll whine and complain that their employers are “getting around the intent of the law” by cutting their hours, etc.
Adjunct faculty are getting screwed but they were getting hammered anyway.
Colleges using “Loopholes”?
Well - they train the lawyers, don’t they?
