The #MedievalAcademyOfAmerica weighs in on the incident of an #adjunct art history professor getting fired at #HamlineUniversity:

The statement draws attention to how little protection “precariously employed” adjuncts have against violations of their academic freedom. I would argue that it also shows how much power non-faculty administrators, “deans and deanlets,” have gained over even full-time faculty in the modern university.
