Grad students who are technically under the employ of the University...that is not outsourcing.

  To me the difference is just a technicality. My point is you’re not getting taught by who you’re paying for.

    > who you’re paying for Only ignorant people think that all beginning courses are taught by real professors. That hasn't been true for generations.
    • blackeyeblitzar 2y ago
      Right but what you’re paying for is still not a random grad student of unknown reputation for whom teaching the class is a way to build favor with the professor

        Aside from the fact that you've got your negatives confused: Grad students' assistantships often require them to teach classes. It's not "a way to build favor with the professor," it's required for them to stay in grad school. As for whether they're "random" or not: how would you know how they assign classes? I doubt it's by lottery.
