College professors at legitimate schools are not complaining these days. They know they have one of the greatest scams in history going.
The teaching faculty-to-student ratios are about the same as they have always been.
When I went to college, we had a Dean of Men and a Dean of Women.
Now they have 57 different deans, one for each of the different genders that they claim exist.
It's college/university administration that has become bloated, dysfunctional and grossly overpaid. One of the ways (besides tuition inflation) that they pay for this is using a lot of part-time faculty, which they underpay.
I attended night courses at Community Colleges in Dallas County and Tarrant County for 89 hours credit @ $25 an hour.
(I was 25 and had already completed military service.)
Transferred to a State University and paid $121 for 18 or more credit hours per semester. All except final year was part time while working full time, married and raising two girls.
Last year was full time, 21 hours.
No student loans. $75/mo. VA benefits. Bought used text books.
Before Sr. year, commuted 120 miles/day between home, school and work, round trip.
I find it difficult to sympathize with the whiners boo-hooing about their student loans. They need brains to make choices.
Nothing mysterious about it. Its just a con game. Schools are awash in cash which is embezzled legally by overpaid administrators.
