##yes, but TT lines don't appear to get converted into lecturer positions, from what I've seen. Best case, adjuncts if they really need the courses taught, or the program just shrinks or disappears.
#Applicant beware on University of Maryland Global Campus: it's a for-profit in all but name. It's not College Park or any of the respectable campuses in the system, but something more like Purdue Global. Its purpose is to sell off-the-shelf mostly online classes to underprivileged students in order to raise revenue for the rest of the Maryland system, and as such the only real concern of the organization is "enrollments, enrollments, enrollments." It should tell you something that an outfit you saw advertised at a nearby bus stop felt the need to use the word "quality" eight times in its job ad, because the courses you'll be teaching are anything but. Management is openly hostile to faculty, and they have used contract renewal time to cut salaries and benefits. I know this is an "any old port in the storm" year (like every year), but you might find that at UMGC the costs to your happiness and your professional integrity outweigh the benefits.
#I have mixed feelings reading #
##You missed the point. The point is that UMGC is a toxic place to work that also sells its students short. And that is so by design.
##Thank you for the clarification. Sounds like you have some experience here. Good luck in your future endeavors!
