Once upon a time I was a Spanish lecturer at a university. They trusted me with 100-300 level classes (lol wild)

Then I was pulled into a Title IX investigation that really had nothing to do with me, and like an idiot I did what I thought was the right thing

If a professor rapes a student and another professor asks you to testify on behalf of the student, you may get fired as retaliation (even though that’s illegal)

Last I knew, the accused professor is still tenured

#there is no moral to this story I’m just still salty about it #ok my contract was not renewed and I was notified via email #not precisely fired #the other professor was forced into emeritus status #bruh she was a full professor she didn’t have to take me down with her #well I was only a lecturer for one year I was a ta then loa/lob mostly #i liked teaching Spanish and I was good at it but circumstance says I’ll probably never do it again #so if any of you want answers to your Spanish tests idgaf #if my almost decade of university teaching is any indication higher Ed is an absolute shit show #academia #today’s lore drop #this story is actually not why I’m unemployed #me looking at my brainrot lifestyle like how did I used to be that person #but also adjunct faculty makes TERRIBLE money even if you qualify for benefits #i had a full class load and should’ve gotten bennies but it took 3 months each contract to qualify and contracts were 4 months long #I’d get benefits for two to four weeks then the cycle would start again it seems like that should be illegal #all this was happening while I was making the old art I’m posting
