How do we communicate with part-time faculty?
Abstract
Part-time faculty describe how students, faculty, and administrators communicate with them as well as their perceptions about how society communicates about them. Students perceive part-time faculty as academic members, but assume they are full-time. Full-time faculty, staff, and administrators communicate with part-time faculty only when a need arises. Part-time faculty perceive a lack of membership in the academic community as a theme of social discourse. These findings suggest practical changes for improving communication and fostering a better understanding the identity of part-time faculty.
