Why Are College Professors In Poverty?

from The Peoples Voice Podcast · host Trey Evans

In the United States, poverty has long been associated with individuals who lack a proper education or higher education degrees. However, recent studies have challenged this assumption, shedding light on a shocking reality within the higher education system. According to a study published by the American Federation of Teachers, nearly a quarter of adjunct or contingent professors working in American universities and colleges are living at or below poverty levels. Even more disheartening is the fact that many of these professors are forced to rely on public assistance to make ends meet. In this episode I discuss the state of adjunct professors in the U.S. higer education system.00:00 Intro02:10 Adjunct Professors09:00 Part Time Professors12:00 Professors In Poverty17:00 Adjunct Professor IncreaseCheck out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research
