Non full-time faculty-whether adjunct, part-time or contingent-has
become the lifeline of a vast majority of colleges and
universities. They teach many of the foundation and core courses
taken by first- and second-year students, teach professional
courses in which their own life experiences are invaluable, and
step in at short notice to fill-in for regular faculty engaged in
research or away on sabbaticals.A survey of over 4,000 institutions
conducted by the US Department of Education reveals that such
faculty are being hired at a much higher rate than their full-time
counterparts--whether in response to increased enrollments, reduced
budgets, or changing administrative strategies.The increasing
presence of such faculty on campus can conflict with today's
demands for accountability and the pursuit of institutional
mission. This book provides academic administrators and faculty
developers with proactive, practical and results-producing
approaches that can help transform fragmented faculties into
integrated and cohesive teaching and scholarly communities.In an
easy-to-follow format, this book constitutes a resource of
thoughtful and pragmatic strategies to ensure quality and
satisfaction both on the part of the institution and the adjuncts.
Topics are presented in a thematic sequence that allows
decision-makers to focus on their priority areas. The author offers
guidance for systematic planning and implementation.The contents
are focused on connecting non full-time faculty to core
institutional functions and structures: Connection #1--to the
institution; Connection #2--to the department; Connection #3--to
teaching; Connection #4--to Students; and Connection #5--to
scholarship.Originallyannounced as "Connecting Adjunct Faculty to
the Academic Institution"
