Letter: ​Adjunct professors deserve higher pay

TO THE EDITOR:

A review of my transcript revealed that 75 percent of my classes were taught by graduate students and non-tenured faculty. I was ignorant of how little they earned for providing such high-quality instruction.

As a student, I would have gladly paid an extra fee to boost their compensation. As a state employee, I would gladly pay more taxes for a similar designation.
