Equality for Contingent Faculty
2014
Overview
Vice President Joseph Biden has blamed tuition increases on the
high salaries of college professors, seemingly unaware of the fact
that there are now over one million faculty who earn poverty-level
wages teaching off the tenure track. The Chronicle of Higher
Education ran a story entitled \"From Graduate School to
Welfare: The PhD Now Comes with Food Stamps.\" Today three-fourths
of all faculty are characterized as \"contingent instructional
staff,\" a nearly tenfold increase from 1975.
Equality for Contingent Faculty brings together eleven
activists from the United States and Canada to describe the
problem, share case histories, and offer concrete solutions. The
book begins with three accounts of successful organizing efforts
within the two-track system. The second part describes how the
two-track system divides the faculty into haves and have-nots and
leaves the majority without the benefit of academic freedom or the
support of their institutions. The third part offers roadmaps for
overcoming the deficiencies of the two-track system and providing
equality for all professors, regardless of status or rank.
