2) The professoriate has let universities do this without much resistance. It must, via its professional organizations, threaten strikes to prevent decent jobs from evaporating. And it should have been doing this for a long while.
3) And a big reason this hasn't happened is organizations are dominated by tenured profs. You can see this as a meritocracy. But if you don't think merit governs the system, it starts to look more like an oligarchy.
