This report addresses the unionization of part-time (or adjunct) faculty and sets forth certain demographic data pertaining to them. Included are sections from national faculty organizations' status reports on part-time faculty. The first part of the report lists factors contributing to the growth of adjunct faculty collective bargaining. Tables present adjunct faculty units organized during the period of 1983-1987 and lists of all adjunct collective bargaining agreements cited in the 1988 edition of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions's "Directory of Faculty Contracts and Bargaining Agents." Part Two shows excerpts from position statements on part-time faculty prepared by American Association of University Professors, American Federation of Teachers, and National Education Association (NEA). They discuss: tenure; security of employment; role in academic governance; compensation and fringe benefits; management policy considerations; union policy considerations; the appropriate use of part-time and temporary appointments; academic due process for part-time and temporary faculty members; participation in governance; conditions of part-time and temporary faculty employment; compensation; abuse of nontenure track appointments; and part-time and temporary faculty in collective bargaining. Recommendations include that: colleges and universities convert all improper part-time, temporary, and nontenure track appointments to regular, full-time positions whenever possible and each institution immediately begin to develop a handbook of policies on the matter incorporating the principles set forth in NEA policy statements.
