@laura11D@ibogost@aliaemily@tressiemcphd Now, we all know adjuncts are paid peanuts, and there are many. So there's a disconnect there.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@laura11D@ibogost@aliaemily@tressiemcphd Lacking a proper survey, it's not clear to me what the answer is--lagging data, selection bias?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@laura11D@ibogost@aliaemily@tressiemcphd Another possibility is that the crisis is more about some subgroups, esp. English etc. Not sure.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@zeynep@ibogost@aliaemily@tressiemcphd That linked report uses the number 22K. Pacific Standard survey of 500 said less than 20K.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
