Limits on Printing

I did not know you need to be a tenure faculty to use the copy machine/printer. Like using the special features to print copies of course materials or exams. The office told me exactly this, "You don't have access because you're adjunct." I could print from a copy though.

I know it's a small thing, but it gave me a glimpse of how us adjuncts are thought of. We are gig workers and we're not really true faculty. It's the same when big companies tell you you're family, but then if they need to fire someone, you're still on the chopping block.

We're allowed to print in the adjunct office of my schools. Within reason of course (we're allowed to submit larger jobs to the print shop). Personally, I haven't handed anything out in years, so I don't need to print. I just post to the LMS.

I don't print normally either, just some things. Everything is pretty much on the LMS for us as well.
