A strike by New York University's "contract" #professors is on! Not necessarily the most helpful people when it came to #adjuncts like myself, but whatever. #Solidarity. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/n...
‘#Historically #Underrepresented’ #Faculty #Overrepresented in #Adjunct #Ranks
New data shows that 40 percent of the professoriate is composed of adjuncts who work for #meager #wages. And compared to their peers on the tenure track, #adjuncts are more likely to be #Black or #female.
Yall. I’m trying to figure something out:
At your university, what is the pay schedule for your adjunct faculty? Share the rate if you’d like, but I’m trying to sort out what the standard number of pay periods/etc are.

Remember what Roxanne Gay said, few of us love teaching enough to teach a class for adjunct pay. #deathofhighered

What percent of undergrads are taught by adjuncts? More than 50 percent.

Oh John Cabot University, by habit,
You ask us for research and then grab it!
But we teaching-folk say,
“If you want our work, you must pay!"

I used to think 'Gone with the Wind' was wonderfully romantic...and then I served as Adjunct Faculty at an American university.

Over half of adjunct faculty are women, but they lack security. With Adjunctions, we're building a space where you can get career support, visibility & community. Join us at the Pennsylvania Conference for Women. We're at Booth #450 - let's chat 👍 #HigherEd #PennWomen #Teachingexcellence #adjuncts
Looking forward to the Penn Conf for Women 09/25. Women make up the majority of adjunct faculty. With Adjunctions, we're creating a space where women can get career support, visibility & community. Find out more @ Booth #450 #HigherEd #WomenInEducation #Teachingexcellence #adjuncts #EduSky
A mandatory 9 week "new faculty orientation" class for adjuncts is just a fancy way of saying "required new employee training" so that you can pretend it shouldn't be paid work.
Where's the lie? @aaup.org #adjuncts help.
Welcome Back to campus to our Arcadia Adjunct Faculty Union! Arcadia #Adjuncts can get reconnected with their union throughout the coming weeks! Find all the links in our bio! @arcadiauniversity.bsky.social
Again, while far from perfect, grants create opportunities to break the cycle of overwork and exhaustion, and to carry out research that is a primary criterion of getting a fairly-paid, reasonably secure (at least up til now), job with decent working conditions #adjuncts deserve time for #research

There's this concept from the lit I came upon in the #ADHD book research that I think about a lot: RICH (resource induced coping heuristic). It's where you get really good at doing something with nothing.
I feel like us #Adjuncts in #HigherEd are RICH.
Well, the semester has started (yay!), which means fewer posts. In fact, I may straight-up vanish for a while.
Hope your 2025 terms, whether quarters, semesters, or other, shine.

Iʻm late to the game here, but just found out that revisions to #pslf make it easier for #adjuncts to qualify!
Guidelines now say to multiply credit hrs by at least 3.35, and if the resulting number is at least 30, it qualifies as full time. Stoked!
#academicsky #edusky
and point 2 on this: #HigherEd is increasingly an industry of #adjuncts. we often are not paid to do significant redesigns and/or we don't even have the access to do so.
#AI
I’d like suggestions for accounts dedicated to supporting academic contingent/adjunct workers rights. I believe we either need a fundamental change in this system or an end to academic contract work. #highereducation #contingentfaculty #adjuncts

Might as well get started today on pushing back against the world. Here's an essay about #highered, and how #mentalhealth, #neurodiversity, and #labor #adjuncts #faculty are all intertwined.

I know we can do better for #adjuncts because one of the places I teach pays me well, gives me a year of advance scheduling, gives me bonuses for good teaching, and provides adjuncts access to benefits like healthcare and life insurance.
CC: @chronicle.com @insidehighered.bsky.social
of course, my #1 point when talking about anything related to #adjuncts is extremely radical: pay people and give them benefits.
#HigherEd
Universities have already got rid of tenure for rather a lot of us.

Not to mention Lisa Durden. #Adjuncts have to deal not only w threats but also w sudden joblessness: https://t.co/1Py8iZcMYf https://t.co/BbKy9v6zvZ
Yes, every bit of this. And seek their wisdom often. In my department, most #adjuncts have decades more teaching experience than I do! twitter.com/empathywarrior/status/83...
I wonder if there's data on #adjuncts burnout? Or does it pass unnoticed when they ghost out of academia? @PrecariCorps @NewFacMajority https://twitter.com/dadakim/status/784730582911741956
