Focussing on faculty characteristics, workload, and compensation, this report provides comprehensive data on full- and part-time faculty employed by institutions in the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS). Data were drawn from the fall 1991 Department of Community Colleges' College Staff Information Data Survey, from the 1990 Faculty/Staff Study survey, and from annual statistical reports. Following a glossary and introduction, tables are presented detailing faculty growth, demographics, aging, education and experience at their current institution, workload, and hourly rate of pay for part-time faculty. Highlighted data include the following: (1) between fall 1987 and fall 1991, the number of full-time faculty increased by 12%, from 3,262 to 3,643, and part-time faculty increased by 18%, from 3,808 to 4,502, while full-time equivalent (FTE) students increased by 22%; (2) in fall 1987, 90.3% of full-time faculty were white, dropping only slightly to 89.8% by fall 1991; (3) from fall 1987 to fall 1991, the median age of full-time faculty increased from 44 to 45 years, while for part-time faculty, there was an increase from 39 to 41 years; (4) in 1991, approximately 56% of full-time curriculum faculty held at least a master's degree, and 62.5% had worked at their current institution for more than 5 years; (5) in fall 1991, approximately 96% of full-time curriculum faculty were assigned 10 or more contact hours of direct instruction; and (6) in fall 1991, the median hourly rate of part-time faculty in the curriculum area was $14.42.
