My impression from this discussion seems to be that different institutions
have different policies and procedures for dealing with adjuncts. I don't
think this should be much of a surprise to anyone, but maybe it is. As such

Out of respect, I hesitate to get into arguing small points. . . but there is
a tendency for too many in academe to jump to incorrect assumptions about
'adjunct faculty'. The human cost of this situation can be great for many good

How many adjunct faculty is too many? I would arge that no more than 10-20%
should be adjunct. Now don't get me wrong, I've had plenty of adjuncts who
are better in the classroom than many tenured faculty. But the fact is that

I think David has a point, and I would actually go a bit further. I don't
feel the teaching side of the question is an issue in regards to adjuncts.
After all, if an adjunct is not doing a good job teaching, how likely is it
that she or he will continue working for a department? If anything, I'd

I agree with the comments made by many of you, e.g., too many adjuncts,
they don't do advising, committee work, etc.
I would say that you need a union, or a clause in your contracts
addressing this issue. Our contract says that if we have full time
adjuncts for 2-3 consecutive years, the scho

The adjunct ratio as it relates to the classroom has never seen like the
problem to me. There are an incredible number of wonderfully competent
professionals who, as adjuncts, bring freshness to a department's teaching
mission. The problem is all the other stuff! Advising, curriculum

Most adjuncts (myself included) I know are not people who are dabbling in
teaching while carrying on lucrative vocations elsewhere.
Most of us are trying to get full-time teaching jobs. Thus we also experience

I just replied to the previous post on adjuncts, but this one compels me to

At what point do the students suffer if taught by a large percentage of
adjuncts? They suffer to the degree that they have not been provided an
