@fabianbanga	Hi @Melissa_Venable #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:12
@cookingandcomp	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer @Melissa_Venable There are several in my area. Contact 1 dept. chair; never got a response. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:13
@NevilleAnnKelly	Hello folks #AdjunctChat I am an intermittent adjunct by choice at same college I was previously tenure-track.	4/1/14 16:13
@Comprof1	@KateMfD Glad you can make it. It’ll be interesting to see how adjuncts are used/perceived in other locations. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:13

@NevilleAnnKelly	I was the only dept. member who had time to develop our first online courses. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:14
@Melissa_Venable	@fabianbanga Several roles, but F/T is as an education writer – covering eLearning topics, social media, online learning #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:14
@Comprof1	#adjunctchat. We have a new dept head & I’m finding that she knows nothing of my background. She didn’t hire me but I’ve been in dept for 8	4/1/14 16:14

@Melissa_Venable	@Comprof1 @cookingandcomp @JeffreyKeefer Access, yes, but local institutions have limited distance ed. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:16
@cookingandcomp	@Comprof1 #adjunctchat in English dept; many FYC courses taught by many adjuncts. Good support but $ prevents more FT positions #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:16
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @cookingandcomp @Melissa_Venable What sort of other access are you thinking about? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:16
@fabianbanga	@Melissa_Venable nice! #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:16
@Comprof1	@klinecj @Melissa_Venable Are there differences between the 2 schools in what they know about your skills/work? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:16
@fabianbanga	what topic? @NevilleAnnKelly #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:17
@Comprof1	@cookingandcomp Something I’ve been trying to do is find how much $$ is actually spent on contingent faculty. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:18
@YourDailyArt	#AdjunctChat @AdjunctChat @Comprof1 I hardly know the other AH #Adjuncts and only do because I made a concerted effort to befriend them.	4/1/14 16:18
@klinecj	@Comprof1 @Melissa_Venable Yes – one is local and one is not. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:18
@Comprof1	@cookingandcomp My uni is public so EVERY employee’s name and salary was made public but budget is private!!!!!!!!!!!! #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:18
@KateMfD	. @Comprof our casual teachers often hidden from view — mostly in roles more like TA than adjunct. Key first year teachers. #adjunctchat	4/1/14 16:19
@cookingandcomp	@Comprof1 Inst. recently cut our max hours instead of give healthcare benefits. . .will have neg. affects on FYC program #adjunctchat	4/1/14 16:20
@YourDailyArt	@Comprof1 @AdjunctChat #AdjunctChat This is why it is so hard to get people to understand how underpaid we are when our own co-workers don’t	4/1/14 16:20
@Comprof1	@KateMfD @comprof Are TA’s & adjuncts the same or is there a distinction made? Finding some schools same other diff #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:20
@fabianbanga	@KateMfD Are your TAs in charge of their own courses? Like GSIs? @comprof #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:20
@cookingandcomp	@Comprof1 Outside ENG, though, there is a culture of distrust for adjuncts b/c adjuncts do not “stick around” #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:20
@Melissa_Venable	RT @KateMfD our casual teachers often hidden from view — mostly in roles more like TA than adjunct. Key first year teachers. #adjunctchat	4/1/14 16:20
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 it should also be public #AdjunctChat @cookingandcomp	4/1/14 16:21
@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga @KateMfD @comprof What are GSIs? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:21
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @cookingandcomp If it is, they hide it much better than they did our salaries. Really is a bit embarrassing. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:22
@fabianbanga	@YourDailyArt For us a programmer and the majority of the FT assistants make twice as a PT instructor + benefits @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:23
@KateMfD	@JeffreyKeefer @fabianbanga @comprof Australian casuals more often tutoring on courses led by full-time faculty. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:23
@JeffreyKeefer	@YourDailyArt @Comprof1 One institution where I teach has frequent admin turnover. If not teaching then, easy to be forgotten #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:23
@Comprof1	#adjunctchat Q2 So if you had to identify what work you do to teach your class, what would you include? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:23

@Comprof1	@Melissa_Venable Not only developing/modifying content, but learning tech updates, working around tech limitations #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:26
@NevilleAnnKelly	@Comprof1 Amazing, but teaching 1 online course at a distance involves near same tasks and time load as 3 classroom courses. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:26
@Melissa_Venable	@Comprof1 Congrats! It can be a lot of work – especially that first course, or version of a course. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:26
@YourDailyArt	@therealchalo @OhioPTFacAssn #AdjunctChat I do and I follow them although I have yet to make a meeting.	4/1/14 16:26
@Melissa_Venable	@Comprof1 Sounds like you are getting a lot of instructional design and edtech experience in the process. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:27
@Comprof1	@YourDailyArt @fabianbanga Does this put you at a disadvantage? I’m sure DH would know you if there were complaints! #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:27

@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga @JeffreyKeefer @KateMfD @comprof Thank you; never encountered that one before #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:30
@Comprof1	@npmaven And yet, perception that it is “easier” and not as effective. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:30
@npmaven	But ongoing? Hmm. Probably 10-20 hrs/wk WITH course set up ahead of time. #adjunctchat	4/1/14 16:30
@Melissa_Venable	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Indeed. Development contracts can be separate from teaching ones – but may have to ask, and ask again #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:30
@npmaven	“Easier” totally false – if done right. RT @Comprof1 @npmaven And yet, perception that it is “easier” and not as effective #adjunctchat	4/1/14 16:31

@rskiff	#AdjunctChat shameless plug. Why don’t you join us at http://t.co/xt8FIiJcVY. We are close to getting our approval. Better pay and security	4/1/14 16:49
@fabianbanga	@YourDailyArt the same for us. / $ is coming from the state, @NevilleAnnKelly @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:49
@rskiff	@Comprof1 #AdjunctChat Your answer is the reason so many adjuncts are hurting. Giving institutions free stuff w/o compensation is not ok.	4/1/14 16:50
@YourDailyArt	@fabianbanga @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat We have one office with 3 computers for over 90 adjuncts.	4/1/14 16:50
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @YourDailyArt @NevilleAnnKelly Just had discussion We can’t add new class until 45 students in all scheduled class #adjunctchat	4/1/14 16:51
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @YourDailyArt @NevilleAnnKelly Problem is planned classes don’t cover all in major. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:51
@JeffreyKeefer	Q3 Prep time, review assignments, engaging in research / keeping disciplinary knowledge current, meetings, student advisement #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:52
@Comprof1	@YourDailyArt @fabianbanga I’ve never heard of such a thing! why even have an office? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:52

@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer How much time per class hour do you think you spend? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:53
@CitizenAcademic	RT @AdjunctChat: Today’s #AdjunctChat on “What do adjuncts do?” continues, and it not too late to join in! http://t.co/5oUSLtfkOW @comprof1	4/1/14 16:53
@fabianbanga	@YourDailyArt Too many! we: PT & FT together, 4 desks/room. FT 1-1 desk, PT: no more than 8-1 + other areas 2 work. @Comprof1 #adjunctchat	4/1/14 16:54
@Comprof1	#adjunctchat We are “expected” to have office hrs because assessed in sem end student assessment, but not paid for it. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:54
@YourDailyArt	@Comprof1 @fabianbanga #AdjunctChat I don’t use it even if on campus, that many people, way too many germs.	4/1/14 16:54
@rskiff	#AdjunctChat I see a group of people who are an exploited class if ever there was one. How do you all stand the inequality/lack of agency?	4/1/14 16:55
@rskiff	#AdjunctChat I see a group of people who are an exploited class if ever there was one. How do you all stand the inequality/lack of agency?	4/1/14 16:55
@NevilleAnnKelly	Wow @Comprof1 @fabianbanga @YourDailyArt Private schools can shrink classes, esp. if branded as <1:15 faculty:student ratio. #adjunctchat	4/1/14 16:55
@Comprof1	So last question/comment: how can we find out & inform people about what adjuncts do? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:56
@fabianbanga	@NevilleAnnKelly our min is 25, max 40 however, some flexibility, some classes can have more or less. @YourDailyArt @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:57
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 That is a good question; I have never calculated how much time I really spend on the peripheral activites #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:57
@Comprof1	http://t.co/hR28g17xfE I’ve been collecting some good articles/studies on adj. on my blog. Tweet me if you know of others. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:57

@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 what? terrible @YourDailyArt @NevilleAnnKelly #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:58
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @NevilleAnnKelly @YourDailyArt 40 for a language class? That’s crazy and not fair to instructor or student. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:58
@Adjunctular	@rskiff #AdjunctChat I blogged about mandatory contributions of time. “It’s Not Just about the Dough” at http://t.co/XHMqGqqjwk	4/1/14 16:58
@MademoiselleSci	Thanks for the insight! #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:59
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Do you know of an app that could be used to determine time? Where might there be funding? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:59
@rskiff	#AdjunctChat I don’t know of any exploited class who is as fearful as adjuncts. The problem is there is no alternative or is there?	4/1/14 16:59
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 I know. long fight. they do not understand. @NevilleAnnKelly @YourDailyArt #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:59
@JeffreyKeefer	Q3 Do adjuncts work more than paid for out of love for the discipline, and thus taken advantage of for the goodness of heart? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 16:59
@rskiff	@Adjunctular #AdjunctChat I’ll check it out.	4/1/14 17:00
@fabianbanga	@NevilleAnnKelly I know, private univ/colleges are different. @YourDailyArt @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:00
@YourDailyArt	@Comprof1 @fabianbanga @NevilleAnnKelly #AdjunctChat our online cap is 28 on campus the fill # is 40.	4/1/14 17:01
@rskiff	#AdjunctChat We all tolerate the poor conditions/pay and so make it a lot worse. What about the other systems? That is why I created Oplerno	4/1/14 17:01
@Comprof1	@rskiff There needs to be a mass (growing) united voice & data to support it.Slowly voices being heard, but need studies also. #adjunctchat	4/1/14 17:01
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Read just in time professor and CAW report. http://t.co/fss94UJpyF #adjunctchat That is part of it.	4/1/14 17:03
@rskiff	@Comprof1 #AdjunctChat Nonsense! build the world you want to see. Data and voices–sounds like a faculty meeting. Those are not effective.	4/1/14 17:03
@phillyprof03	I know many adjuncts who coordinate dept activities and are not compensated for it. those that are aren’t getting much $. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:03
@YourDailyArt	@Comprof1 @fabianbanga @NevilleAnnKelly #AdjunctChat wonder why 28/40? Well a FT retired teaches the majority of online and set the limit #	4/1/14 17:03
@JeffreyKeefer	RT @Comprof1: @JeffreyKeefer Read just in time professor and CAW report. http://t.co/c8D5BZbXUU #adjunctchat That is part of it.	4/1/14 17:03
@NevilleAnnKelly	#adjunctchat @YourDailyArt @Comprof1 @fabianbanga 28 is definitely the upper limit for an effective online course.	4/1/14 17:04
@phillyprof03	The prep time for adjunct taught courses is not reflected in the pay. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:04
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @YourDailyArt Yes, I work for public. Class size/requirements > but salary is better because of union #adjunctchat	4/1/14 17:04
@YourDailyArt	@Comprof1 #AdjunctChat Thank you for facilitating the chat today.	4/1/14 17:04
@sneakinabook	@JeffreyKeefer Whether out of love or necessity, most are working more than they’re paid for. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:04
@fabianbanga	@NevilleAnnKelly How can we change this reality from a transcendental perspective? @YourDailyArt @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:04

@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 yes, the same here @YourDailyArt #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:05
@JeffreyKeefer	RT @sneakinabook: @JeffreyKeefer Whether out of love or necessity, most are working more than they’re paid for. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:06
@phillyprof03	The idea that adjuncts need to quantify their time is part of the problem. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:06
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @NevilleAnnKelly @YourDailyArt In this economy/society, numbers talk. AARP gets their message across. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:06
@NevilleAnnKelly	GREAT question @fabianbanga @YourDailyArt @Comprof1 #adjunctchat Requires an entirely new vision of pedagogy, expand beyond old models.	4/1/14 17:07
@JeffreyKeefer	@sneakinabook I agree with you completely. I am wondering if this is the problem? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:07
@NevilleAnnKelly	RT @fabianbanga: @NevilleAnnKelly How can we change this reality from a transcendental perspective? @YourDailyArt @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:07
@phillyprof03	Would “evidence” in the form of numbers miraculously alter the exploitation of adjunct labor? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:07
@JeffreyKeefer	@sneakinabook It can be a challenge to expect / demand to get paid for doing education and teaching that we love to do #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:07
@Comprof1	@phillyprof03 If you were a lawyer or other “contract” professional, you would bill every hr you work. Maybe we should do same #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:07
@sneakinabook	@phillyprof03 with budgets tight, is there another incentive for adjuncts offering this benefit to their institutions? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:07
@rskiff	#AdjunctChat thanks for the effort. See you soon.	4/1/14 17:08
@phillyprof03	Or is it yet another unreasonable demand being made of adjuncts? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:08

@NevilleAnnKelly	I kept track last year @Comprof1 @phillyprof03 #adjunctchat Astounding hours spent.	4/1/14 17:09
@Comprof1	@sneakinabook @phillyprof03 How many of us know what budget is? I can’t find current budget but public school. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:09

@NevilleAnnKelly	True, @phillyprof03 #adjunctchat yet it also provides empirical evidence for a deeper, even existential reality.	4/1/14 17:10
@sneakinabook	@JeffreyKeefer Everyone knows not to go into teaching for the $ but how much is too much? In many cases it is a problem. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:10
@fabianbanga	@JeffreyKeefer yes indeed. thank you @Comprof1 and #AdjunctChat / all the best!	4/1/14 17:11

@phillyprof03	Or is he goal to do away with the system that makes adjuncts necessary? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:24
@phillyprof03	The status “adjunct” doesn’t mean they’re doing less or different work. They do the same (sometimes more) work as NTTs. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:31

@Comprof1	@phillyprof03 But I’ve found if you have data hard to dispute. “Shrinking budgets” Are they? “adjuncts do less work” Do they? #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:39

@Comprof1	@phillyprof03 There were changes and contract labor got benefits back. If we have data, we can file complaints, demand equity. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:49
@Comprof1	@phillyprof03 No, not admins. they won’t do anything. Labor board, class action suits (or threats), lrg agregate voice. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:51
@VCVaile	being more or less forced to work more hours than reported could make ground for wage theft—tricky though #adjunctchat	4/1/14 17:51
@Comprof1	@phillyprof03 True. Not fair. But will stay status quo if no one takes up banner. that’s how they get away with it now. #AdjunctChat	4/1/14 17:51
@VCVaile	laws for class action have changed since impt wins—harder now to qualify a case #adjunctchat	4/1/14 17:52
