The adjunct faculty strike at Columbia College Chicago is in its seventh week. To keep classes going, the college has replaced hundreds of teachers who walked off the job after Columbia cut hundreds of classes to fill a significant budget gap. Many students support their part-time faculty, who make up the majority of professors at the arts-focused college. But some feel caught in a conflict that is making them question their place at the South Loop school. WBEZ’s Anna Savchenko brings us three of their voices. Host: Mary Dixon
