2016 - VTDIGGER Article - https://vtdigger.org/2016/10/20/jennifer-brunton-ccv-administration Jennifer Brunton - Former CCV Instructor who had earned her Doctorate from Columbia University

She wrote this article that was published Oct 20, 2016. The article is about why she stopped teaching at CCV after 8 years.

" As we proudly watch some of our students lift themselves out of poverty through the education we provide — we become via our CCV positions further entrenched in poverty, debt, and sincere questions about the core values of CCV." and "Like most institutions, CCV has become top heavy. It has ignored the ethical and financial injustices upon which its success is built. The vast administration of this community college is made possible only by your policy of hiring exclusively “part-time” “faculty” — and paying this faculty a mere fraction of what full-time or fairly-paid faculty would earn (again, with no benefits). I do understand that using (and I use this word advisedly) adjunct faculty is a national trend, but I know Vermont — the first state to legalize civil unions (and an early-embracer of same sex marriage), the first state to grant women partial voting rights and abolish slavery, the state is known as the most progressive and fair in this nation, the state of BERNIE — can do better."
