That's a great pay rate for teaching a single class at a cc. I know for a fact there are science dep'ts at self proclaimed "top tier" universities who don't pay adjuncts that much.

It breaks down to 3 semesters a year at a little over $2500 per. It helps that it's a 4 credit hour course and the pay is based on that. Still, if I taught a full load (4 sections) at the adjunct rate, it's still less than half what the tenured guys get. But I've noticed that they are relying more and more on adjuncts, precisely for this reason.

For real. I teach in the late afternoon and the full time guy has never once been there when my class starts.
