SUMMARY:Ewigleben Symposium - The Future of Contingent Faculty in Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:
  Among the many ongoing debates in U.S. higher 
 education is the growing controversy of employing 
 contingent faculty (part-time, non-tenure 
 track faculty, and/or clinically trained researchers). 
 These faculty are increasing in 
 numbers, resulting in debates including the necessity 
 of such faculty amid funding cutbacks, 
 unionization of faculty labor, and improving 
 work conditions (i.e., pay, benefits, job 
 stability, isolation). This symposium of multiple 
 panels will focus on contingent faculty 
 in higher education from various perspectives 
 including policy, advocacy, research, and practice. 
 Presenters will shed light on the wide 
 range of issues raised in this debate and illuminate 
 available policy levers of opportunity 
 to address issues of equity that are central 
 to the future of contingent faculty.\n
