Not Just a Matter of Fairness: Adjunct Faculty and Writing Programs in Two-Year Colleges

Jeffrey Klausman

Abstract

A survey of and follow-up interviews with adjunct faculty working with a writing program administrator or a similar person or committee reveal that adjunct faculty working conditions create more than a sense of unfairness; rather, they create a very real energy that works against the movement necessary to build a writing program out of a collection of writing classes, to develop the sense of a “we” moving toward a common goal.
