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.
