Some 73 percent of all faculty positions are off the tenure track, according to a new analysis of federal data by the American Association of University Professors.

“For the most part, these are insecure, unsupported positions with little job security and few protections for academic freedom,” reads AAUP’s “Data Snapshot: Contingent Faculty in U.S. Higher Ed.” The report is based on the most recent data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, from 2016.

AAUP’s report discusses long-standing concerns about the decline of tenure and what that means for academic freedom, as well as the “casualization” of academic labor and the unbundling of the traditional faculty role. But it also provides an up-to-date picture of who is teaching, under what conditions, where.

Breaking down non-tenure-track positions by institution type, it’s clear that tenure and tenure-track positions are more represented at research-intensive and other four-year institutions, where they are about one-third of the faculty. Tenure-line jobs are about 20 percent of all faculty positions at two-year institutions.

??? I'm not arguing against any of this. I WORK a non-tenure tract position at a state university. I know full well that is where the majority of university teaching positions exist. I am paid just above peanuts, because I only have a Bachelor's degree; I enjoy a high degree of flexibility and autonomy. I don't have a problem with that.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that Russian scientists achieved a breakthrough in the global vaccine race, announcing that the country has become the first to approve an experimental covid-19 vaccine and that his own daughter has already taken a dose.

I'm actually thinking hard about it. The cardiologist that does all the heart caths had it and continued to work. All the nurses in the cath lab were tested by the hospital who refused to let them see the results so the nurses came to my clinic and got tested. They were ALL positive. They were all afraid of being fired if they told the hospital. There's no telling how many heart cath patients were actually infected during that.
