          When I read Lotfi's e-mail in linguistlist (12.932)
(Lotfi at www.dci.co.ir), I came up with this question: Is this predicament
or hot potato the cause of improvement to our academic life?  I do not
really think it gives a lift to our morale to improve our knowledge.
Certainly the volatile situation takes away from us the opportunity to
spawn any progress.  As a member of faculty of the same university (Azad
university), not only am I teaching in the university I am employed, but
I also have to work in other universities as "haghottadris" --the person
who is not a tenured faculty--.  So I do not think the time really
sufice me to improve my status either as a teacher or as a lecturer let
alone having opportunity for any research.
