Wait for those losing their health insurance due to Obamacare finding they can’t afford private insurance, make too much to qualify for Medicaid and Obamacare’s vaunted Insurance Exchanges don’t exist so they will have no health insurance AND get taxed more (a.k.a fined) because of it. Ain’t socialism great.
The problem with this is that the “Tenured” professors wont be affected. It’s these older tenured leftovers from the hippie 60’s and 70’s that continue to infect the minds of our college students.
The unfortunate thing is that we all have to suffer for the stupidity, foolishness, and intransigence of these liberal morons.
Sorry, it’s for the greater good, after all.
Instead of understanding the real cause of their misery, though, they will clamor for a single payer system, which is what all this is about anyway. Years ago Ted Kennedy (who has been sober for quite some time now) admitted that the goal was to make health care and insurance so expensive that people would throw up their hands and demand that the government take over completely. I’m afraid that is where we are headed.
Less people will be going to college soon due to cost. More will go.
It doesn’t matter if every college professor is fired due to Obamacare. The Force is the strongest with this group and few will change.
I know many “Academics” as well, and they are often the most rigid, narrow-minded, bureaucratic and of course, ideological people I meet.
We all have to sacrifice for the sake of universal coverage. Right?
All according to plan (creating an outraged mob that will start demanding single payer more and more loudly)
They thought they’d be in charge of leading the rubes to the open pit and not the ones standing beside it themselves.
Lenin and Stalin made sure that the first ones shot or sent to the gulag were the agitators who made the 1917 revolution possible.
Unfortunately, the Coach doesn’t know a lot about academia.
First of all, the adjuncts don’t dress that way and certainly don’t hang out in the faculty lounge with the real faculty. They’re like Obama was in Chicago, they’re outsiders. They have no vote, they have low status.
These adjuncts typically teach fewer than five courses, at three contact hours each course that adds up to 15 hours.
Even if office hours are counted (adjuncts who have office hours, LOL) and their course load is cut, the tenured faculty will not pick up that work load. For every adjunct there are many more Ph.D.’s desperate for a job in the Academy. They’ll be happy to cut their hours at Starbucks to teach a few courses.
Good. Hope all those thousands who signed the petition in support of Bill Ayers will be first on the firing list.
I’m crying a river of crocodile tears over here.
They did WHAT to the data?
