Do adjunct perks include room board and benefits?
Literally just a freezer bag full of percs
The perks are, according to the replies, that you get to supervise students and do research officially with the university I guess. I think the strategy from a potential hire's side is that you teach 3-4 classes as a lecturer, get some sort of barely livable wage, formally associate yourself with ucla in this way by teaching a free course, and hope that lands you a real professorship elsewhere eventually. So essentially it's literally paying in exposure. Now, co-advising a ucla phd thesis probably actually does help your CV quite a bit, and maybe lands you a tenure track position at a small college, but ofc still exploitative as fuck.
