Description
Book SynopsisWeighs the concerns of university administrators, professors, adjuncts, and students in order to critically assess emerging faculty models and offer informed policy recommendations. Cognizant of the financial pressures that have led many universities to favour short-term faculty contracts, contributors investigate whether there are ways to modify the existing system or promote new faculty models.
