Part-time faculty are employed in community colleges for a variety of reasons. First, part-time faculty save an institution money. Within an environment of shrinking financial resources, institutions of higher education are forced to seek alternative methods for delivering costly services (Avakian, 1995; Monroe & Denman, 1991).

  • Dr. Richard Lyons is making me a little bit sick. His insistence on boosting the use of adjunct faculty since it allows "colleges to enrich their curricula with real world perspectives, and expand the number of course sections offered, without permanently increasing their operating costs." is hiding the fact that adjuncts are simply getting paid much less for the same work. The majority of adjuncts in general education are not enriching the curricula but instead fattening the wallets of administration types, of whom I highly suspect Dr. Lyons to be one. Academic traditionalists are not the only ones alarmed by a deterioration in the higher ed work environment and you don't have to have a Phd to sniff the stench of raw hypocrisy in the air.

  • Such a deal! You get someone in the classroom without benefits, job security and reduced pay. Many work without support, seeing students at their cars in the parking lot and spending their own money for supplies and materials. Hey, if Administrators want to really save money, let the students teach themselves!
    You get what you pay for Dr. Roueche, et al. Oh, and by the way. You know that expensive four year college that many parents and future students are saving for. Chances are a significant portion of that faculty is also an adjunct and many work full-time on low wages and without health care/retirement safety nets.
    Adjuncts are like the migrant workers of academia: they are vital to get the job done, are compensated at the lowest levels, work under the most austere conditions, and are not seen in polite company.
    It's shameful.

  • Over the past decade, community colleges have significantly increased their employment of part-time instructors. While this practice is often vehemently criticized by academic traditionalists, it enables colleges to enrich their curricula with real world perspectives, and expand the number of course sections offered, without permanently increasing their operating costs. Drs. Roueche, Milliron and Roueche get past anecdotal perspectives to present their sound research conducted at community colleges throughout North America. Their findings and recommendations are a must read for all in community colleges responsible for making decisions on this critical issue.
