    Slaves. You want slaves. You want someone to work for you and you don't want to pay them. That's what a slave is.

      That’s not true. A slave is at least given some meager scraps of food, shelter, and clothing so that they can survive and reproduce. This professor would be given nothing.

      They're unionbreakers looking for an unpaid scab to fill a position which should in any sane world be highly paid and they're being extremely entitled about it.

      But I think it's overstating things to call it slavery. Slaves can't say no, and in this case, like most volunteer roles there's very little to motivate anyone taking the position to put up with any BS or not just deprioritise the role when other things come up in their lives. The usual anticapitalist "sure, I'm allowed to say no and starve in the streets what a free uncoerced choice" doesn't really apply in this case because if you spend all your time working this job with your PHD and college level teaching experience making the University thousands of dollars every hour starving in the streets is where you will be :marx-joker:
