Get Back to Work! Class in Session

from BustED Pencils · host Civic Media

Today on BustED Pencils Drs. Tim Slekar and Johnny Lupinacci take a look at a developing story out of Madison, Wisconsin. The statewide budget passed earlier this year included $256 million in increased funding for the University of Wisconsin system, but that money comes with a price; newly imposed demands on the amount work that faculty members have to do. Are these demands what they seem? Are educators not working hard enough? And how many hours of work go into each hour of class time? We discuss it all as we get our lazy butts back to work on this episode of BustED Pencils! The Producer's Choice Show with Producer Jakob is part of BustED Pencils: Fully Leaded Education Talk which is part of Civic Media.
