To Many Adjunct Professors, Academic Freedom Is a Myth.
Schneider, Alison
Chronicle of Higher Education, v46 n16 pA18-A19 Dec 10, 1999
Reports that adjunct faculty, which accounts for half the professoriate, does not have academic freedom and can lose jobs for such usually protected activities as teaching controversial material, fighting grade changes, or organizing unions. Accounts of such activities are offered from Jefferson Community College (Kentucky), Chestnut Hill College (Pennsylvania), and Colorado Mountain College. (DB)
