Trench Scholar!
Will Petry, an adjunct who had recently been elected Chairperson of the Doctoral Students' Council (DSC) at the Graduate Center, wrote this 1986 editorial in Refuse. Petry recounted a series of specific events in relation to his employment as an adjunct at Hofstra University and Nassau Community College and lamented the inconsistencies of the “the phony credentials racket,” his inability to receive unemployment benefits, and the sacrifices he has made in order to be able to teach.
