Two recent reports (
here and
here) talk about how the so-called Affordable Care Act (apparently Congress is exempt from truth in advertizing laws) is making life as an adjunct instructor in colleges, which was already abysmal, even worse. In response to the claim that adjuncts are now in purgatory, John Rosenberg claims:

Perhaps this realization is just hitting some colleges and universities (and thus media outlets), but my friends who are adjuncts were hit by the problem a long time ago (also noted
here back in April). Several of them were dropped and those who were not have had their hours severely curtailed. Yet for all that, university administrators are behaving in a strictly rational manner. I do not fault them. (I do think there are individual instances where one could make a case that productive adjuncts have been dropped when unproductive employees were retained.) It seems that universities that have relied heavily on adjuncts will either have to hire more of them to do less work, or rely more on full time faculty. Either option exacerbates the problem for adjuncts.
