The Legal Status of Part-Time Faculty.

Whelan, Wayne L.

Lifelong Learning: The Adult Years, v3 n9 p18-21 May 1980

As part-time faculty are employed in increasing numbers by institutions, questions of their legal status arise. In the areas of individual rights and freedoms of teachers, status in terms of tenure, promotion, contract renewal, and compensation (salary and benefits), all long-standing inequities in the treatment of part-time faculty, must be addressed.
