"In this book, Daniel B. Davis has proposed an important practical tool for addressing the contingent faculty crisis and ensuring that all stakeholders participate in the transformation of higher education into a site of authentic excellence, and commitment to equity and equality."-- (08/21/2017) "Daniel Davis got the single most important thing about current contingent faculty right (besides their extreme exploitation, of course), which is that most of us would rather be full-time, job-secure (tenured or otherwise) faculty. It is amazing how many writers get that wrong. One could hope that most of the book's cogent prescriptions for change will not be ignored by the vast majority of the intended audience: administrators and trustees. The rest of us with a stake in higher education cannot afford to ignore this book and its very reasonable ideas for change. I look forward to his next book about how to get there."-- (08/11/2017) From the Foreword: "This book, in my estimation, is one of the most important books focused on contingent faculty in higher education...I highly recommend this book to leaders within unions, academic administrators, faculty leaders - both tenure-track and contingent - as THE approach for advancing equity on college campuses."-- (08/21/2017)
Reseña del editor:
The Adjunct Dilemma is a concise guide that offers higher education professionals a way to measure the degree of equality taking place in work environments across institutional settings. It frames the relevant issues and nationwide surveys that reveal the current professional landscape. The goal is to offer a standardized way to identify both unjust and equitable labour practices that impact adjunct faculty on campus. The main feature of this guide is The Non Tenure Track Faculty Report Card, a tool to help evaluate current labour practices that impact adjuncts in both positive and negative ways. This tool measures 3 areas of labour conditions: Material Equity: Pay, job security and benefits Professional Equity: Opportunities for advancement, academic freedom and professional development Social Equity: Gender and racial parity between contingent and non-contingent faculty in proportion to populations served
