Okay Payam... I would need to see the data before making a conclusion, but
it is it not also true (I may be wrong here) that in most businesses,
part-timers make less (per unit) than their full-time equivalent?

Another reality... in my dept., we were just approved for two NEW tenure
track lines... this is something that has not happened in decades. What
this means is that there will be FEWER part-timers teaching in our
dept. Our part-timers tend to be Ph.D. students at area universities who

Mike,
Most institutions are not like what you described. In
the majority of colleges and universities adjuncts and
part-timers ALWAYS make a small fraction of what the
full-timers make not to mention all the benefits
full-timers also get that part-timers don't either. An
exception to the rule
Stephen,
Let's not compare oranges to apples. We are talking
about the academic world not the private sector world.

We used to have tons in the psych dept - then it was decided to get rid of
them all. I was here then and Dr. Bauer responded by cutting out almost
every Intro to Psych and Human Growth and Development course - we got them
back that term, but no more. We have 1 full-time part-time person now,
Do the full-time folks hold Ph.D.s? Have they been there longer? I know
that I teach the same # of classes as my colleagues, but most make more
than I do (some quite a bit more) bc/ I have not been here that long.

In most cases it does not matter whether you hold a
Master's or Ph.D. The pay is for the most part equal
in all cases. I am talking about beginning salaries
and not when you have been there for several years.
But even if you do compare raises of part-timers and
full-timers over the years you will
Here at VSU, an adjunct with a Ph.D. gets paid $1800 per course per
semester. An adjunct with an MA gets somewhere around $1300. So, the
degree does matter. To what degree, is another issue.
Make it a good day.

Please read more carefully what I said. I am talking
about quality of degree. Levels of educational
achievement are up to the individual in what they
accomplish while they are attending school. Just
because you have a Ph.D. does not mean your OVERALL
achievements and educational experiences

But for many of us - that's the problem. Adjunct faculty are not
exptected, supported or encouraged to do research and/or service. Those
adjuncts who have to make a living (driving back and forth to different
campuses, prepping numerous classes) cannot do research.
