Adjunct Professor Protest Low Wages, Complain of ‘Tenuresplaining’
At Cerritos College, adjunct professors complained of low wages and suffering from “tenuresplaining” from tenured college faculty:
At Cerritos, organizers urged their colleagues to host teach-ins during class to “spread awareness about the unfair working conditions” of adjunct faculty, according to an email obtained by Campus Reform.
Along with the teach-ins, the protesting adjuncts wore all-black outfits along with name tags that read “Professor Staff,” a reference to the label “staff” being used in place of their names on class schedules.
