Adjuncts, Part-time, and Contingent Faculty
"A Portrait of Part-Time Faculty Members"
Quote: "It is estimated that there are 1.3 million contingent (part-time and adjunct) positions in higher education. These positions are not tenure track. The Coalition on the Academic Workforce conducted this comprehensive study about part-time, adjunct and contingent faculty and their working conditions. The study looks at pay and benefits of this group of faculty."
