If you want to improve #adjuncts' lives, pay them more. If you want to improve their teaching, give them office space, too.
@jnthnwwlsn
fond memories of holding office hours in the photocopier room at the community college when I was an adjunct
@jnthnwwlsn
Been there.
@jnthnwwlsn Having adjuncted with a private office and once with only a small room I shared with a dozen other adjuncts, it was amazing what a difference the office made.
@jnthnwwlsn True. And doing so can have a big effect on students. At UT San Antonio, they doubled the pay of some faculty who were teaching lots of students. Those faculty didn't have to adjunct elsewhere, allowing them to focus on UT students, and the % of students passing those courses went way up.
