We've had a few pestilence-related retirements before the start of fall term, and so far the extra load has been distributed over existing faculty. Nothing has been advertised for Spring, perhaps for Fall, but the administration is waiting on enrollment figures. Not holding my breath. I expect more adjuncts, less non-tenure-track teaching faculty and the same amount of tenured faculty, even at teaching institutions where tenure-track faculty members are not expected to bring in external funding. The caste system is as strong as always, and shit flows downhill.
