I used to study #poetry. Write it. Perform it. Even published it. After I was rudely yanked from teaching an intro class in it a long time ago because we lowly unfavored #NTTfaculty are only deemed worthy of tesching freshmen comp, I lost interest. Watch, when I leave the uni suddenly my interest will revive. #AcademicChatter

Offering #NTTfaculty extra sections of #freshmancomp is parallel to offering #overtime to legal support staff at large law firms. Dangle the carrot of a lot more money, but ignore the fact that the base salary is often not enough to live on with #inflation. And the job, be it grading hundred of papers or typing hundreds of legal docs, is viewed by the "haves" in their respective systems, #TTfaculty and lawyers, as #scut work. #AcademicChatter #highered
