Adjuncts should be paid 15K per course? - Colleen Flaherty, Inside Higher Ed

Most observers agree that adjunct instructors deserve better pay, but what about $15,000 per course? The Service Employees International Union shocked even some adjunct activists last week when it announced that figure as a centerpiece of its new faculty advocacy campaign. But while union leaders admit the number is bold, those involved in the campaign say adjuncts might as well aim big, since they have little to lose. They also say they hope the $15,000 figure will force a national conversation about just how colleges spend their money, if not on middle-class salaries for instructors. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/02/09/union-sets-aspirational-goal-adjunct-pay
