Students are great. Adjuncts are badly treated by the university as employees. - Adjunct Professor Cleveland State Employee Review

Adjuncts make up ~ 70% of college professors in the U.S., and are paid atrociously. CSU pays badly, worse than the local community college (Tri-C). At CSU, the pay for adjuncts is $3,000 per 3 credit course with no benefits compensation besides the mandatory employer contribution to STRS (based on salary). Meanwhile, tenured full-time professors can get away with anything including loads of student complaints and investigations, and still keep their jobs.
