Before you go into great debt to send your kid to college, you should hear from the low-paid, ill-treated workers who will actually be educating them: adjunct professors. They are sharing their stories with us. Their view is much different from the one you’ll find in the college brochure.

American universities spend half a trillion dollars a year. Very little of that money goes to the people who do a huge part of the teaching: the adjunct professors, academia’s hidden underclass. They are telling us their stories. They’re not pretty.

Adjunct professors are the most highly educated low-wage workers in America. And they told us all about it.

“Adjunct professors” are the McDonald’s workers of academia: poorly paid and highly disposable. Is raising their pay to (barely) middle class levels really too expensive? It’s all a matter of priorities.

Here is a story that is perfectly calibrated to rile up the staffers of right-leaning publications. It has federal overspending to the tune of six figures on seemingly trivial causes. It has concern for the environment and climate change. Most importantly, it’s got a big ol’ dollop of campus feminism, holding it all together. It’s too bad it isn’t really true.

It’s been a difficult week for the students of Georgetown Law.

The good thing about class consciousness is that you begin to realize that no matter how long you went to school, your problems are fundamentally the same as all the other people whose bank account balance is as low as yours.

Academia is one of the few venues in America where claiming membership in a minority group can potentially further your career, rather than, you know, the opposite. Are colleges adequately policing their professors’ ancestry claims, like true detectives?

The prestigious magazine Science has deleted an advice column in which CalTech scientist Alice Huang advised a woman whose academic adviser was constantly leering at her breasts to “put up with it” because such behavior is “common in the workplace.”

MFA? More like LMFAO.

Patrick Stewart, 61, has successfully defended his PhD thesis in architecture at the University of British Columbia, despite the fact that it was mostly written without any punctuation marks or capital letters or identifiable grammar.

Damn, Texas A&M University at Galveston management professor Irwin Horwitz—you’re a wild motherfucker.

A senior business communications instructor at Florida State University left her job but refused to apologize last week after blaming "filthy rodent Muslims" for ruining France and telling a prominent gay hairstylist on Facebook to "Take your Northern fagoot [sic] elitism and shove it up your ass."

The academy. It claims to stand for inclusiveness and diversity and voices of dissent. But what happens when students decide to vote with their feet—their bare feet—and a professor calls those students "hillbillies"? Well sir, you've got a discrimination problem.

For unclear reasons, this discussion on the topic of "Should I Go to Grad School?" contains more than one word.

A former Portland State University undergraduate has filed a $1 million lawsuit against her faculty mentor for sexual harassment over the professor's alleged obsession with the student's experiences as a BDSM model and sexual-abuse survivor.

Oberlin College is considering the controversial possibility of revising its policy on trigger warnings in order to allow professors to teach "books" and other academic material, rather than just reciting trigger warnings nonstop all semester. Is the world ready?

Academic conferences. They're scary. You put yourself and your research out there to be shredded by "colleagues" and hiring committees. But one top-flight humanities conference wants to put you at ease. With live-action role play and prizes. Yes, it's time for a sparklepony quest!

A group of left-wing academics have formed a group to oppose other groups of left-wing academics who are calling on academics to boycott Israel. The outcome of this struggle will determine the future of Palestine.

Pro tip: When opening your university's new art museum, don't pull an exhibition drawing attention to a famous donor's racist tendencies because it's "not aligned with the celebratory atmosphere." It's not supposed to be a celebration of your being a censoring a-hole.
