The Adjunct Voice: A Day in the Life of an Adjunct Instructor

Here's a great video posted on You Tube about "la vida loca." Nine classes, 200 students?!

Speaking Up...voices from the "Add-On Voice" Survey

"Adjunct is a euphemism for 'academic temp;' by and large we are treated as lepers by the full-time faculty and staff, despite being the cheap labor backbone which props up their salaries and benefits."

"I am now making about as much as I made as a full time barista, except that I no longer have health insurance. I think the conditions under which I must work are having a negative impact on the attention I am able to give to my students."

"Adjuncts need Union representation (I say this as an ex-business exec!)."

"It would be nice if we could have a say in the days and times at which our courses are taught. Also, to receive some feedback from our department heads....either based on our SET scores or from a personal observation."
