Death of an adjunct professor

Also, it doesn't look like God got out and helped the poor lady, as it always doesn't do.

You better stay clear from everything claiming to have relations to God, if she aligned with some secular university she might not die in absolute poverty.

I now have something to stick into religious faces for the rest of my life, bookmarking.

> Adjuncts now make up well over 50 percent of the faculty at colleges and universities.

Unless you think that a fairly large percentage of colleges are religious and have a religious exemption from letting their faculty unionise, this may not be what you're looking for. ^^;

She would get a better deal. Still not good but better one.

I'm not following your logic there. How does working for a secular university give her a better deal?

I can see how working in a union might - but that's not necessarily the same thing.

Because a secular university would have one stupid reason less against unionizing its workers.
