It's a 4-4 position, but there are infinitely worse positions -- 5-5 and even 6-6. Whoever gets that job will be incredibly happy at having any kind of teaching job at all. This dying empire, whose public has been almost completely bamboozled by war-mongering, thieving plutocrats, refuses to invest in the most basic of its public infrastructures.
