Description

This book is a result of the research, personal observations, and experiences of an academic sharecropper that spans nearly three decades. The issues of what is right, just, and fair are addressed relative to the failure of the academic system to properly recognize and reward adjunct faculty-academic sharecroppers.

This book maintains that ethical and moral breaches by administrators in the higher education industry needs to be addressed at the societal level. Chapter one is titled "This Is the Way It Is-Believe It or Not" because of the outrageous exploitation of academic sharecroppers, students, and the general public.

Chapter seven examines the issue of Student Faculty Evaluations (SFEs).
