It's an interesting blog in the world of "critical university studies."

Also, a growing segment of faculty are full-time non-tenure track--in fact, I believe one stat demonstrated that FTNT faculty were hired at a greater rate than TT in the past five years at most research and regional universities. That appears right now to be the most effective long-term way to undermine the tenure system. They become integrated to a larger degree into the organization, but in a permanent second class status kind of way. However, since their exploitation is less egregious and they get to stay put, they don't speak up as much.

Thanks for the post.
