The terms "part-time" and "adjunct" seem to be getting confused. An adjunct may be full-time and, because such a position would be viewed as less prestigious and less competitive than a tenure-track position, an institution might offer a higher salary to the adjunct.
Our university started a program a couple of years ago, in which new faculty could elect an indefinitely-renewable term contract rather than a tenure-track position. Under such a contract, they would have the same teaching/scholarship/service responsibilities of "regular" faculty and receive a higher salary as a trade-off for lower job security. Imagine what the AAUP had to say! Stephen W Tuholski wrote: > Okay Payam...
