DC’s got it: 50-70% of the faculty in most colleges and
universities are nontenured, part-time instructors who serve at the will of the
college. No job security, no benefits, typically 1/3 the pay of tenured faculty teaching the same course. (Can you tell I still have a bitter
taste in my mouth from my years as an adjunct faculty member?)
According to the BLS, the average postsecondary teacher makes $1,072
a week, twice as much as a pre-K and K teacher, and 22% more than a
high-school teacher.
