[lbo-talk] Post-secondary education, neoliberal style

[Alan Rudy]

Temps and Adjuncts at UofM, MSU and Central (I don't know about Wayne,
Western, Eastern, Northern, Tech, Grand Valley, Saginaw or Ferris) are all
in the process of trying to negotiate union contract with the admins... hard
slogging given corporatization and fiscal crisis.  Don't know if Michigan is
ahead of or behind this curve.
