Sad to have lost another good adjunct as part of the Administration's, "let's look like we are being fiscally responsible" effort.  Adjuncts make a pitance, they almost exclusively teach (i.e. generate tuition revenue) and they are often practicing professionals in their field.  Meanwhile, the administrative bloat is terrible at UA.  But wait, guess who actually decides how cuts will be distributed? Yep, administrators. Go figure, they aren't keen on cutting themselves or their underlings.  I won't even get into distance education, but it is not all it is cracked up to be. When UA decides to cut, they almost always seem to cut the things that benefit students the most, while keeping the positions/services that minimally impact students.  Seems backwards to me.
