Julie,
I have no idea where your brothers teach, but at no liberal arts college, e.g.
Reed, Williams, Amherst, Oberlin, Bates, Bowdoin, Antioch, Kenyon, Bard, etc.
would this be true, for the simple reason that these are undergraduate liberal
arts colleges, and hence have no pool of graduate students to exploit, um,
employ.
Beyond that, it is hardly true even at large research universities. E.g.,
graduate students assist in (some) large lecture courses, by grading, and by
leading 'discussion sections,' and in some intro courses, e.g., what used to be
called 'English Composition,' teach the courses outright. This may be true in
some intro language courses as well; it would depend on the institution. But
that professors mostly do not teach undergraduate courses is simply false.
