Ouch.

However, it's also true that departments need external funding sources (or undergraduate classes in the field they need cheap instructors for) in order to provide support to grad students. Some seemingly-reputable math depts I could mention are more concerned with your willingness to slave away teaching remedial algebra than your ability to finish the degree.
