The Part-Time Faculty Advantage.
Leslie, David W.; Gappa, Judith M.
Metropolitan Universities: An International Forum, v6 n2 p91-102 Fall 1995
A national study indicates that part-time faculty now teach a major portion of undergraduate studies, and that most institutions plan to use more in the future. Data from the study are used to describe part-time faculty characteristics, how they contribute to their institutions, and the conditions in which they work. Suggestions are made for strengthening academic programs. (Author/MSE)
