Washington State Adjunct Activist Dr. Keith Hoeller's Editorial Published in New York Times, November 12, 2013

"While the tenure-track faculty have comparatively high wages, great benefits and lifetime job security in the form of tenure, one million contingent professors have none of these things, often teaching for decades for poverty-level wages, and wondering whether they will even have a job next quarter.  "

Dr. Hoeller's reply includes this closing statement:

"It is not surprising to see the two-track system defended by those who profit from it the most. But as the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education, even a “separate but equal” system is inherently unequal. It cannot be reformed; it must be abolished."
