Part-timeAdjunct faculty canpositions contribute real-world on experiences, rise nationwidebut drawbacks persist BBy y ANN A N DORN N D O R N \ i B s m S t m f m i t e S a i — | 1 — Editor-in-Chief The number of adjunct faculty employed at universities nationwide continues to rise, but the percentage of George Fox adjunct faculty remains below the national average. Three out of 10 college and university faculty worked part time in 2004, a 12 percent increase over the last 20 years, according to the U.S. Dept. of Labor Statistics and the Digest of Education Sta tistics. Currently, 37 percent of George Fox faculty are employed part-time compared to 46.2 percent nationwide. According to the Chronicle of Higher Educa tion, adjuncts often fit one of three categories: the hopeful, the expert, and the master teacher. Hopefuls are often instructors who simply have not landed their first tenure track position, while experts are employed in their field of work, such as communications or art, and often teach at a col Photo mustration by JAMIE GRIGGS lege or university in addition to their primary jobs. Outside the classroom: adjuncts often use their diverse employment experiences in their teaching. Master teachers have decided to forego tenure for personal or professional reasons.
