Students Should Demand More of Their Professors
Special to the Daily Cal
Friday, March 18, 2011
In protests against higher tuition and increasing fees I have yet to see protests against the hours worked by faculty.
New professors earn at least 25 percent more than a new non-university teacher (who basically gets a five-year degree equivalent to a Masters to get a credential) yet works one-third of the hours.
If every professor were required to teach an extra section, or an increase in average classroom hours from 15 to 18 a week, more classes would be available for students and fewer professors needed thereby reducing one reason for tuition hikes.
So why aren't college students making demands like this?
