The Chronicle of Higher Education quoted Adrianna Kezar about working conditions for adjuncts in higher education, noting that Kezar is leading a nationwide project to study changes in academia. The article, “The New Faculty Minority,” says that tenured professors are fighting to retain control even as their numbers shrink.
More than half of the adjuncts who have provided information about their working conditions to The Chronicle’s Adjunct Project said they had no role in faculty governance. Adrianna Kezar, a professor of higher education at the University of Southern California who is leading a nationwide project to study changes in the academic work force, estimates that no more than 10 percent of institutions give contingent professors a role in campuswide governance in “a meaningful and full way.”
