Labor issues at the local community college

I found out at our "department" meeting that there are only two (2) full time faculty members. The rest of us--about fifty--are adjuncts who work the same gruelling number of hours a week, twelve, as the full time "people." And one full timer is retiring, and the college has no immediate plans to replace her. The position is put on a priority list by the college; it is just one value to be weighed among others.

What ever happened to site based management? This community college has just passed a bond as well and is in a very affluent area. Yet, the instructors seem to have no power or even right to consultation.

These are issues I will be pursuing. Having only two FT instructors is not even ethical.
