Ah, I must've just missed them then. A bit sad to hear.

Yea, but at least where I am it is not as wide-spread and abused as in the US. From what I've heard from people there, it is almost rare to have a non-adjunct/TA the first year when studying. I have been to a few universities in Europe and I have met a total of 1 adjunct ever, and that was a rich software developer who exited tech because she thought it was fun teaching after her career in industry. Now it might be a bit field dependent though, I am in STEM + medicine so maybe it is more widespread in the humanities?

And as for the sports stuff I think I've seen some numbers which suggests football is a net-positive for US universities money wise.

The whole video is about the American system - so yea it is bad. Now getting tenure is not easy even outside america, but the adjunct stuff, the dean and board of directors and football teams are all just american frivolities.

Wdym? They are among the top european manufacturers of quantitative financial analaysis spreadsheets. Only uncivilised countries (usually inhabitated by non-whites) produce material things - meanwhile my superior intellect has concluded that another $100 million should be invested into AI-datacenters, long live the UKKK!

I have bad news for you regarding how we Europeans historically have handled collapse-level crises
