Must be unions or something.....I worked 30 years in university and Associate Professor was equivalent of adjunct status...they catch the tedious classes, don’t do much research and have pay their dues. They, in turn, hand out all their sh!twork to the graduate teaching assistants.
I guess the way around this is bringing in lots research dollars, but I don’t think sociology is a hot-topic unless she’s a Friend of Obama. From her ‘published’ works, there is nothing much to go on but that she likes music and the ‘scene’ I guess.....

Not me.
I teach.
I teach the classes I want.
As many as I want.
My free time is my free time.
I am not paying dues. Done that in my life, doing other things than teaching.
I am teaching one federal government class per term because I want to, not because I have to.
The poor young guys with a masters and working on their PhD (union card for an university position) are the ones begging on both knees for a full-time position.
