Reviews
A well-researched, balanced study of these controversial practices.
Most chairs and deans... need support and guidance for orienting, supporting, and evaluating non-tenure-track faculty. Campuses could start by sharing this book.
The authors' work is thorough and clear. It is imbued with an appropriate balance of concern for both the working life of full-time non-tenure-track faculty and for the issues that push institutions toward this form of faculty relationship.
The book is a reliable and exhaustive examination of its subject.
Baldwin and Chronister's book is must reading for faculty and administrators concerned about the future of the professoriate. No previous work has so thoroughly addressed the issues and interests of faculty who are not eligible for tenure, a group that now represents over 26 percent of the full-time faculty in colleges and universities today.
