We've had a fair share of stress in the past ten days, so I completely related to this article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, which discusses the results of a new survey of university faculty.
Faculty, particularly younger faculty and temporary employees, were under a great deal of stress. Full time professors had less time to teach, because of research demands. "Self-imposed high expectations, lack of personal time, and working with underprepared students were the leading sources of stress for faculty."
Those who weren't lucky enough to have a tenure-track position were in a worse position as they realized that they were on a dead-end to employment.

My stress this week came from having no electricity in my office for four days while the temp outside was over 30 C. Making it about 50 in my office. I don’t think people in the US ever deal with these types of problems.

Definitely higher research and publishing expectations here. Add in grants money expectations. But, still, I’m tenured and full-time unlike an increasing number of my fellow faculty who have so many of the same expectations but no security or real salary (just course-by-course payments on an unpredictable basis).

I don’t know. I’m pretty freakin’ stressed, and I do not have significant research/publishing expectations. Teaching and university service alone can be pretty time-consuming.

I have a relative who adjuncts a pretty full load, has an administrative college job and also boards several foreign students as well as having a couple other gigs and the only reasonable explanation for how she does it all is bilocation.
