Adjunct Man

I think Rob Schnelle is the most original voice you’ve published in some time. Not the same old same old, but a satirical essay that really succeeds in hitting below the belt--where all good satirical writing hits, by the way. I love his send up of Bettlebrow State University, and the pompous windbags who hold tenured positions there. Can anyone not recognize a Dr. James Advil or President Inez Flattentyre among the ranks of the administrators and tenured faculty at institutions across the United States?

This is why I keep sending you people my hard-earned money, and I do mean hard-earned. I have spent the past 12 years teaching with the likes of Dr. Pamela Hooey, and all I have to show for it are a nine-year-old car, a stack of credit cards bills and a wardrobe that was in vogue more than a decade ago. I am Adjunct Man and I teach at Beetlebrow State University. Wish me luck, and keep my subscription coming. Thanks for the laughs, and for the terrific job you do for adjunct faculty.
