I would like to know what experts think about the current regulations of educational work and the influence that these laws have on the health of the education professional.
I think the low pay and lack of health insurance for adjuncts are very unfriendly to worker health. Often adjuncts have to teach far more than a full load--between 5 and 9 classes per semester--to make ends meet, and they still have health insurance to worry about on top of that. By contrast, the good pay and health insurance for tenure-track and tenured faculty are very friendly to worker health. Something needs to be done to give vulnerable adjuncts the same financial and medical advantages as tenure-track and tenured faculty possess.
Are your examples possible issues of age discrimination, or are they related to the level of attainment of individuals, e.g., instructor, assistant professor, associate professor, and professor?
It is a very original point of view of Professor Dennis Mazur. Undoubtedly such a discriminatory element has a meaning in self-assessment and therefore in the mental health of the professional.
Professor Kirk MacGregor Thank you very much for the opinion you offer us. Undoubtedly, the salary problem is decisive. The issue of income is a global problem. You tackle this topic an excellent way
