In the 70s, 75% of instruction was done by 10 years dream faculty. Now I think the number is 28 or 29% of teaching at Rutgers is done by 10 year dream faculty. Universities are addicted to short term contracts that are low wage, right? They want to hire them a week before classes start and then they want to pay them as little as possible.
