Your Opinion, Solicited

Everyone knows that I am a cynical son-of-a-bitch (how dare you talk about my dead mother that way!). So I need a ruling. In announcing a committee to investigate how Oregon colleges are staffed, Governor Kulonoski said this:

[The Commission will] Study the impact of the use of part-time faculty and graduate student employees on program quality and student success, and recommend a consistent definition to describe adjunct, contingent and part-time faculty.


How should we be reading "the impact of the use of part-time faculty and graduate student employees on program quality and student success"?

Positive toward part-time faculty and graduate student employees?
Neutral toward part-time faculty and graduate student employees?
Negative toward part-time faculty and graduate student employees?

Help a (union) brother out here.

Open from 9 am to 11:38 am

A GTF comes in to deal with health insurance. She has to pay, but has no money. She goes across the street to get some cash. Comes back 5 minutes later, pokes her head through the door, looks a the three of us sitting at our desks, and asks, "You guys still open?"
