I’ve become increasingly despondant as a new professor in the CSU living in precisely those conditions described above. Even at elite research universities, it’s only a minority of professors who are treated as Stars. The New Yorker article is a gross distortion of the realities of higher education outside of those star-struck institutions. For the rest of us, especially in the CSU, we’re working 60 hour weeks to teach twice the credit load and try to keep up in our fields and publish solid research and serve on committees and participate in activities making the university worth going to, all while living in a walk-in closet and paying off student loans.
