then there are quite a few "seniors" who are full time teachers. That is why they are complaining. I know here in Philly, there were periods where they hired very few "new" teachers for decades and were only bringing in temps as needed to supplement the staff. And eventually they ended up with a shortage because few wanted to even go into teaching, and older teachers were retiring. They have had a hard time recruiting them now, so you have the same crew still there (who are now "seniors" ). I know a few teachers who were "brand new and/or young" when I graduated 40+ years ago and they are still there.
I know that DU is "boomer heavy" (I am a tail-end one), but many sortof skirt around being considered a "senior", even in their '70s (let alone mid-late '60s), while still working full time, and pointing at others as if they aren't "seniors" too.
