 Selling Out: a Textbook Example
 By THOMAS BARTLETT
 
  James Williams received his letter last fall. "Dear
 Professor," it began.The form letter went on to offer him
 $4,000 for reviewing an introductory history textbook. "I
 thought, 'That's an interesting amount of money,'"...

This is scary and would change the whole dynamic of teaching.  Under 
this agreement, as an adjunct professor, I would be getting paid more 
from the textbook publisher than I am by the college to teach the 
course.  Whom then would I truly be working for?  

I think for the first time I understand how congress works.
