Part-Time Professors

A determined group of students gathered at Free Speech Rock on May 1st, and prepared to start discussion of recent changes at Ithaca College. The Labor Initiative in Promoting Solidarity (LIPS) organized to protest and gather signatures for a petition to deliver to President Rochon.

Although students will soon be paying more than $50,000 for attendance, several of their professors will continue to struggle financially to get by. In fact, an average class of students pays nearly $60,000 for a semester-long course, while their part-time professor gets paid only $3,900 to teach it — $1,300 per credit hour.
