I work for a university and the profs are using students to teach their virtual classes because..? I know TA's are a known thing in academia but these profs are literally forcing their students to teach for them while they can be anywhere in the world. It was addressed in our faculty meetings. Kinda like where I live, you need to pass a security check to become a postal worker delivering mail but many contract out their duties to "contractors" with no background checks. The mail carrier can swallow up multiple routes get paid for them and then sub-contract the routes out for close to minimum wage. Everything is a sham.
