The remediation war at the city University of New York
[...]they should have realized that they were educating many of the students who would later become teachers in these much reviled high schools. [...]the watering down of the canon in college humanities departments must have confused many of these soon-to-be high school teachers about what is worthy of being taught. Remediation mills? ''1 Something must be done about this problem soon. Since large numbers of the students at the four year colleges are transfers from the CUNY community colleges, if the standards at these colleges tumble, another form of leakage will impose downward pressure upon the standards of the senior colleges. The method adopted by the resolution of the Board of Trustees is harsh, but it has the virtues of being less susceptible of abuse than the alternatives and of being clear and easy to understand and administer. [...]it is a fitting way of declaring to the public and to the higher education establishment that the baccalaureate colleges of CUNY are indeed institutions of higher education and deserve to be recognized as such. The increasing use of adjuncts causes the quality of instruction to decline. Since adjuncts who receive low salaries and few benefits are now organizing to try to take over the faculty union, the persistence of large numbers of adjuncts on the faculty tends to create a kind of class warfare within the faculty and between the adjuncts and the administration.
