Non fulltime facultywhether adjunct, parttime or contingenthas become the lifeline of a vast majority of colleges and universities. They teach many of the foundation and core courses taken by first and secondyear students, teach professional courses in which their own life experiences are invaluable, and step in at short notice to fillin for regular faculty engaged in research or away on sabbaticals.A survey of over 4,000 institutions conducted by the US Department of Education reveals that such faculty are being hired at a much higher rate than their fulltime counterpartswhether in response to increased enrollments, reduced budgets, or changing administrative strategies.The increasing presence of such faculty on campus can conflict with todays demands for accountability and the pursuit of institutional mission. This book provides academic administrators and faculty developers with proactive, practical and resultsproducing approaches that can help transform fragmented faculties into integrated and cohesive teaching and scholarly communities.In an easytofollow format, this book constitutes a resource of thoughtful and pragmatic strategies to ensure quality and satisfaction both on the part of the institution and the adjuncts. Topics are presented in a thematic sequence that allows decisionmakers to focus on their priority areas. The author offers guidance for systematic planning and implementation.The contents are focused on connecting non fulltime faculty to core institutional functions and structures: Connection #1to the institution; Connection #2to the department; Connection #3to teaching; Connection #4to Students; and Connection #5to scholarship.Originally announced as "Connecting Adjunct Faculty to the Academic Institution"
