Despite several articles published on the structure of work in higher education, I found his arguments and his work overall disappointing (Emery, 2009). What I appreciated, however, was how Bousquet demonstrated the exploitative nature of the labor system in higher education with his analysis of the use of graduate students as cheap labor to fill jobs. teaching positions formerly occupied by tenured professors (Bousquet, 2008). With a surplus of graduate students and PhDs, universities cut costs by being able to hire part-time faculty for low pay and no benefits (Bousquet, 2008). His analysis was detailed enough to show how business practices have made their way into higher education, as has business management theory (Bousquet, 2008). I wish it had included stories from graduate students and part-time faculty to get a more personal view of the struggles individuals face and possible solutions to them.
