A Canadian survey revealed two significantly different part-time college faculty groups: those with full-time nonacademic jobs ("Classics," 34.5%) and those with only part-time employment ("Contemporaries," 65.5%). The groups have different reasons for teaching part-time, structure of work needs, and motivations. "Contemporaries" are seen as "real" part-time faculty, individuals who have chosen the academic profession as their career. (Author/MSE)
