Nancy, I know it is a stepping stone and most part-timers have been trying to become full-time and on the tenure track but have not been able to for many reasons beyond their control. The big reason being lack of full-time offers in comparison to part-time offers and this is not because there is not a need for full-timers but instead because hiring more part-timers will save money for the institution and this seems to be the only concern.
