Lecturer pay - Part 2

The story of the lecturer at UCLA in astrophysics who posted complaints about low pay continues to make the (media) rounds. We first posted about this matter on October 12. Now the story, somewhat updated, has reached the NY Post - see the image.*

As we noted originally, the story might have had more legal heft had the complaint been focused on lecturers more generally rather than about one individual, at least for PERB purposes. Indeed, there is no indication of union involvement.

Generally, the comments posted by readers of the Post were not favorable. None of the news stories get into the broader issue of the heavy reliance of universities on non-ladder faculty/temps of various types.
