>> I'm happy to report that this phenomenon has not leaked into the community college world. There's typically only a range of $20,000 or so between the highest and lowest paid tenured positions, and the same salary schedule applies to everyone, whether they're teaching philosophy, computer science, or nursing.<

Yeah, but the existence and expansion of the CCs in the U. S. over the
past 60 years demonstrates that there's nothing necessary or inevitable

gotta teach these university profs how to stick together. Solidarity,
comrades!
