After reading Dr. Susan Mazur-Stommen’s article “Why Do I Do it? Good Question” (July/August 2005 Adjunct Advocate), I felt compelled to commend her for an accurate and wonderfully written article about the exploitation of adjunct faculty. I call us “Academic Sharecroppers” for the reasons she eloquently states. Those of us slaving in the fields of academia are little more than “field hands.” We work hard and put in long hours for Jack-in-the-Box wages. Why do we do it?

What an arrogant, opinionated, simplistic, irreligious jerk!
