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
