I find it interesting that the amount of material on adjunct labor seems ubiquitous, yet awareness of the problem among administrators and tenure-track faculty lags--or, even worse, negligence abounds.
Let's begin with a recent video entitled The Adjuncts, posted on YouTube by CUNY adjunct Chloe Smolarski:
The American Association of University Professor's (AAUP's) publication Academe devoted its November-December 2008 issue to adjunct issues.
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) in 2005 developed this study on full-time, non-tenure track contract faculty members, which also provides details about the decline of tenure-stream positions. It also provides recommendations for appropriate compensation of adjunct professors. This AFT study focuses on part-time adjunct faculty.
The National Education Association (NEA) also has several reports on contingent faculty.
