No one has ever calculated exactly how many, but without taking a penny assist "their" teachers, help to prepare the arguments and often teach
no thought to look on the official lists or databases of the Ministry of Education: they register for the Ministry of University do not exist. They are a lot of desk staff who "give a hand" in the universities, absolutely free and without any de facto recognition of their status. In practical help teachers in small practical things (like make and receive correct argument) but in many cases are also rising in the classroom, lecturing and questioning of the examinations. In the jargon they are called assistants, but the definition does not give a good idea of \u200b\u200btheir real task: they are often factotum, "stopgap" at no cost to plug the loopholes of the university system, which intervene where there is need.
A very broad phenomenon that affects virtually all Italian universities: What can be argued that the rector of his university there is at least one "associate professor of" working for free on the premises of the university? Probably no one would put my hand on fire. Especially because it has never been a census, not having any contractual status you just pretend that these thousands of people there are real ghosts of the chair.
The precariousness "official" dates back to 2008 census by the Ministry of Education and is 38 thousand units, including checks and contractors, but employees "without any formal recognition" of experts on the subject and which do not receive anything there is no trace. A reliable data on the phenomenon in its complexity it provides Andu (National Association of University Professors) that in November 2009 commenting on the Ddl government estimated that 70-80 thousand on the University "researchers at the University are currently precarious, with minimal or no remuneration, conditions of subordination in relation to scientific 'masters' who have recruited ".
How to get started. A click is the professor, usually the chair is a collaborator of his graduate thesis which has made a particularly bright and who aspires to maintain contact with the university. Meanwhile, because "it makes curriculum" and also because it is the most immediate means to regain power - and perhaps waiting for a call PhD - and begin to understand how they work inside the gears of the system as: chemistry made up of checks and balances, and do other things to be avoided.
Identikit of the employee. The series is pretty varied, the reasons that drive a young man to give our time and work to his teacher and benefactor are varied: some points on the enthusiasm and wants to continue teaching, hoping for a future stable employment ( actually very remote); those who want to stay in touch with research centers and to do trying to find a place in the sun in the shadow of the chair. But there are those who, according to the petty logic of "do ut des", aims to do just the racks of Baron round, waiting for this fidelity is suitably rewarded in academia. In all cases the spring that pushes me to undertake this street is the factor "prestige" that comes from being able to spend the name of the university and the collaboration with the Chair, a value that is priceless.
Students: friends / enemies. Employees Professors generate mixed feelings in students that relate to them in two "topical" of their university career. The first consideration is: youth assistants - often peers of the boys that question - in case of excessive severity of students entering the viewfinder (in the corridors of power but also on Facebook, where there are groups like "You hate the assistant professors). The other highlight is in iterating the thesis work: Employees "invisible" to diligently follow the undergraduate chair get a spot in the credits, with their name printed alongside that of friends and relatives. A small clearance "unofficially" that they really work for us at the university, although they pretend not to see them.
