Heavy Reliance on Low-Paid Lecturers Said To Produce "Faceless Departments."
Leatherman, Courtney
Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n29 pA12-A13 Mar 28 1997
In early 1997, over 100 University of California, Hayward faculty members signed a statement of concern about the heavy use of part-time faculty as lecturers. Professors fear that increased use of lecturers threatens tenure, hurts quality of education, and reduces departmental continuity. Part-time faculty are generally treated as a different class of faculty, often strangers to regular professors. (MSE)
