[CAUT] Econ Article

[Jeff Tanner]

Richard, you nailed it on the head.

But if I might add just one itty bitty little point and one little  
bitty question:

9.  Differences in "benefits" from state to state and private vs.  
state institutions.  There IS a difference.

6.  Honestly now:  Is it REALLY possible to moonlight without  
"affecting your full-time university duties"?

One other issue which affects CAUT economics is that it is no secret  
that some positions are "unofficially" half-time hours (20 hrs/wk)  
for what would otherwise be low full-time (40 hrs/wk) pay.  The  
resuit being that when other schools are doing research to establish  
full-time salaries where the administrators are expecting a 40 hour  
position, the data produces tainted results.  It's a great deal for  
those techs in those "half-time" positions, but everybody else gets  
the southern end of the northbound mule.
