Area: Professional Development; Chair: Angela M. Nelson Adjunct professors are staffing more course sections than ever before. In a 1996 report by the American Association of University Professors, they found that non-tenure-track faculty accounted for about half of all faculty appointments in American higher education. The non-tenure-track consists of two major groups: those who teach part-time and those who teach full-time but are not on tenure-track lines. This workshop will review the status of non-tenure-track faculty in America, describe a profile of today's adjunct professor, provide an opportunity for networking among session attendees, and outline standards of professionalism for academic units that hire adjuncts and adjuncts who accept these appointments.
