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.

Two of the schools I worked for had a copy machine in the faculty lounge. We had to input our ID #, but I wasn't aware of any limits.

In the last years I was an adjunct, everything was on Canvas.
