In favor of what?

I'm guessing robots, clones or slaves depending on the available technology.

They're more akin to the low end of university graduates who can't get into industry.

I mostly agree but there are some of us who actually prefer the teaching gig to industry, some so much so that they actually leave better paying jobs in industry to do work with so much tangible social relevance. I admit that that is part of the reward I work for, I just don't accept that it should substitute for dollars.

In my own district we recognized that the district which has little control over the number dollars it takes in could not negotiate contracts when health care costs were skyrocketing so much faster than the cost of living. As a result, we (the union membership) negotiated a formula which for the first time ever saddled us with a portion of our healthcare costs. We were able to then able to establish checks and balances to ensure that we received as much compensation as the budget would bear. To do so is in the students best interest and the district's best interest as well as our own.
