      who do they think is going to apply for this

      People who consider the role a status symbol or resume bullet point or payment for access to university resources, rather than a serious job. I'm old enough to remember adjuncts at the University of Texas who couldn't speak English, occasionally didn't know the material, routinely misgraded assignments, and were generally useless as TAs.

      The positions were handed out to foreign transfer students in lieu of charging them graduate tuition. Or they were positions granted to the children of foreign dignitaries to fast-track them through the US immigration system.

      They were Reason #1 why you really shouldn't bother going to a flagship state school for your first two years of college. Weed-out classes and degree-required make-work classes were filled with Adjuncts like this. Absolutely ruinous for your GPA, they taught you nothing that you couldn't get from a High School AP class or Online course, and they often just kinda sucked as human beings to boot.
