Joe Biden’s stance that some university faculty and administrators are overpaid has made him unpopular at university campuses lately. Now, adjunct faculty members are arguing that Jill Biden’s salary as a teacher at Northern Village Community College was much higher than average. From Inside Higher Ed:
Then, this week, a listserv popular with adjunct faculty members lit up with comments after the couple’s 2011 tax returns indicated that Jill Biden made $82,000 teaching at Northern Virginia Community College. The figure came as a shock because Biden has been identified regularly as an adjunct.
“I thought she was an adjunct. I would love to teach there,” said one member on the Adjunct L Listserv, a forum where part-time faculty discuss issues, commiserate and take part in occasional rants. “If her per course salary as a contingent faculty member is the same as mine, that means that she taught 25.4 classes last year,” said another.
Biden’s pay, however, reflects her promotion to associate professor, college officials said, which comes with a heavier teaching load than her old adjunct gig.
