Abstract | In academia, there are two different worlds, one inhabited by tenure-track and the other by non-tenure-track faculty. In the first, people encourage faculty to become involved in a series of important reforms that increase student success, completion, and learning. In this first world, people envision faculty simultaneously increasing their content knowledge in the ever-expanding world of research and deeply engaging with their institutions and students. In the parallel world of non-tenure-track faculty, there is little time or opportunity to engage in these practices. A great majority of these faculty are either teaching on multiple campuses or have other jobs outside of academe. The second of the worlds is the larger: two-thirds of full- and part-time faculty members nationally are off the tenure track. One needs to acknowledge the day-to-day reality of their lives if one is to bridge the divide between the two faculties. In this article, the author outlines some steps that can and should be taken to do so. (Contains 1 table and 11 resources.) (ERIC). |
