Sledd, James. “TAs Shoulder 60 Percent of the Workload.” Daily Texan 27 January 1975, p. 5.
An opinion column by James Sledd, arguing that TAs teaching two courses per semester carry the same teaching load as tenure-track faculty, even though faculty are mandated by the legislature to teach twice that amount; that TAs provide most of the contact hours with students at UT; and that TA workloads prohibit their ability to complete their degrees in a timely manner.
Sledd also complains about 398T being a sham course, while complaining about the national trend towards research and away from teaching.
