They can't conceive of a reality where they don't get tenure, paid sabbaticals, and raises year after year. Those are worries of the lowly adjuncts.
ETA: Regarding your last point about how things will stay the same, here's Scott Galloway on the popping of the education bubble: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020...f-college.html
You can hear Galloway and Kara Swisher discuss it in depth on Pivot, their podcast (which is very entertaining and almost always fucking awesome): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...=1000474333555 |
To be clear, I think there are big changes coming to education. I do not think there are big changes coming to cities and workplaces overall.
Nationally, there will be significant teacher layoffs. Why would the GOP let a crisis go to waste?
