Inside Higher Ed recently quoted Adrianna Kezar about hiring adjunct faculty in an article by Colleen Flaherty titled, “Making Room for the Majority.”
Adrianna Kezar, director of the Delphi Project on the Changing Faculty and Student Success, a partnership between the University of Southern California’s Rossier School of Education and the Association of American Colleges and Universities, said rethinking hiring and rehiring criteria is an effective way to protect adjuncts in governance roles, and suggested multiyear contracts and due process processes as additional means.
“I think, given [that] this group is absolutely critical to governance, the key is figuring out ways to reduce these types of problems, rather than use them as reasons not to include non-tenure-track faculty [in governance],” she said.
