About Adjuncts--Best of the Web
Use of Part Timers Tied to Lower Student Success " At a time when colleges are under increasing financial pressure to rely more on
part timers, three new studies suggest that doing so erodes the quality of education
that many students receive." Chronicle, 2008
Innovative Contracts Benefit Part Time Faculty Members and Students " The low pay, scant professional development, and poor office space given to many part-time
instructors and lecturers keep them from engaging students, some say. A few colleges,
however, have contracts with incentives for part timers to help students succeed."
Chronicle, 2008.
