Yes, lecturers in the CSU know about this. We do have healthcare benefits IF our teaching load is at a certain level. (The word “contingent” is the official term for a reason.)

One of two (news-making) ways #California is approaching #OnlineEducation. This is Jerry Brown's personal preference, apparently. It may or may not get such emphasis next year after he's re-retired. Budgets get revised.

(The other way is the Online Education Initiative, q.v.)

Now that I'm on the other side of it, still one of the very few black (African American) faculty in the Cal State system of 23 campuses, I like to ask a variety of questions.

It's fun, if not always effective, to pick on the management side for their limited recruiting, hiring, and retention abilities, but I must also ask questions of myself. For example, did it matter that I had only one black classroom teacher in my entire K-12 and undergrad experience? Zero coaches and counselors? etc. After all, here I am, with proper degrees and a job and an attitude. ;-)
