Btw, if you take anything away from today's comic, let it be how shockingly little adjunct professors are paid.

I think this system is evil, but I've had to take part in it at times. when the options are "find $3K to cover a class" or "lobby the admin for an expensive but more humane alternative, which might not work, and will take months to arrange" it's no surprise which one wins out.
(and I should say: I don't just blame this on university admins. they are trying to balance a lot of competing needs. when super cheap labor is available to patch over teaching needs, it's very hard not to use it, esp. if your institution is not rolling in cash, and most aren't.)

(I think this is a problem with a lot of origin points. if there weren't ten people falling over themselves to take these crappy jobs, they'd have to make them less crappy. I do think overproduction of PhDs is a thing. There is no easy solution to this.)pic.twitter.com/dJG1309q7n
