This is a brilliant article cogently discussing a national phenomenon and one that directly affects our students. We have many excellent part-time faculty, who dedicate their time and effort to our students, who participate in extra-curricular activities, who offer themselves to their students on a daily basis, and it is a travesty how we and other schools have left them foundering financially. The solution ultimately is not better wages for these part-time faculty. The solution is hiring more of them full-time so that we rarely, if ever, need part time assistance. But this is an uncomfortable argument for a profession funded by taxpayers.
