Marginal or Mainstream? Full-Time Faculty Off the Tenure Track.
Chronister, Jay; Baldwin, Roger
Liberal Education, v85 n4 p16-23 Fall 1999
Analyzes data from a survey of full-time non-tenure-track faculty at 88 colleges, as well as federal surveys of college faculty. Finds an increase in new staffing patterns that use full-time faculty on term contracts at both two- and four-year institutions. Identifies forces stimulating these changes, but notes worrisome evidence of a two-class faculty at many institutions. (DB)
