Follow up to Adjunct Project

This is the follow up article to the Adjunct posting where the adjunct is keeping track of the way that adjuncts are being treated.  This has gone viral.  He was expecting a couple of dozen participants and he's way past that.

A direct quote from his blog:

         "As of Thursday at 5PM→ [Feb 9]
  • the Google doc has been viewed just under 12,000 times (in 3 days!)
  • 529 schools have been added
  • at any given time, between 30 and 60 people are actively collaborating on the doc
  • traffic referrals: 6000 from Facebook, 800 from Twitter, 700 from Tumblr, 300 from Crooked Timber, 300 from The Chronicle, 100 from Inside HigherEd, and hundreds of other sources
  • gained international attention (I have personally been contacted by professors in Canada, Australia, Spain, and England.)
Hmm . . . I think it’s safe to say we have people’s attention."


This is the blog that Josh Boldt is keeping.  If you go to his blog, there are some interesting things on it but for the actual project you need to click on the Adjunct Project link.
