NEW BRUNSWICK — The Rutgers University instructor who received an email about an athlete from football coach Kyle Flood was likely a part-time lecturer making less than $5,000 per class, a faculty union official said Wednesday.
The president of the Rutgers American Association of University Professors-American Federation of Teachers, the university’s faculty union, did not name the instructor involved in the case that triggered a campus investigation into Flood’s conduct.
But union officials suspect the instructor who received Flood’s email related to an academic issue involving his player is a part-time adjunct professor in the Mason Gross School of the Arts on the New Brunswick campus, said David Hughes, president of Rutgers’ faculty union.
“You can imagine how someone in those situations would feel,” Hughes said. “A guy earning a million dollars is talking to an instructor earning less than $5,000.”
