where have all the adjuncts gone

Philosophy instructor for hire
I was notified this weekend that the Colorado colleges system will no longer allow out of state instructors teach for Colorado funded schools. So no more teaching online.
I contribute this to a growing effort of many state schools that tried to control the for-profit institutions. But as I predicted in my "Stossel" moment, if the schools force the Feds to regulate for-profit it will inevitably come back and force the hand of the state schools.  I also think the ACA (healthcare act) has something to do with this as well. But...
For one, it has created a requirement that all schools must show by demographics what jobs and estimated salary the graduate can look forward to. The state schools thought the ruling would only affect for-profit. This has created a real problem for programs that don't mean squat diddly in the real world. Oopsie...
Second, the state funded academe expected the for-profit would suffer because "they" hoped by controlling who the faculty were teaching for the profiting schools that would eliminate the competition. However, comma, this has now forced many state schools across the nation to terminate out-of-state instructors and forcing many state schools to cancel programs and courses, thus reducing FTE, which means less funds coming in, Oopsie!
What many administrators wanted for the for-profit to control them has become the ruling factor for all that receive federal funding.
That is how "stuff" happens. And I predicted this over 3 years ago, uhm...

I have a full time job and I still have one adjunct position at another school.  But it kind of blows a hole in the idea of coming up on retirement and still being able to teach whilst hanging at the beach.
