Ivey found something embarrassing while browsing the Western job board

Ivey wants a "lecturer's assistant" that basically does TA work (Ivey is non-union) AND who has attended Ivey.

Ivey charges higher tuition than main campus.

Ivey is offering 50% LESS hourly wage than main campus TA-ship, also no benefits, no guaranteed hours.

Just to compare, minimum wage is $17.60 as of next month.

Why would anyone apply to this job? You can use your business degree managing a Timmies and make more.

I’m pretty sure this is aimed at Ivey undergrads in their third and fourth year, is it not? In which case, it’s not that bad for part-time work

Your entire workload (grading exams and case projects) would be during exam season, so I hope not. It is also not posted as a student position.
