The Adjunct Underclass
How America’s Colleges Betrayed Their Faculty, Their Students, and Their Mission
Herb Childress
The Adjunct Underclass is a powerful critique of the state of higher education in America, where up to seventy percent of professors are relegated to course-to-course positions with poor pay, no benefits, and no job security. Author Herb Childress explores the factors that have led to this crisis and reveals the harm that it has inflicted upon educators, students, and the nation as a whole. This passionate and measured call to arms is a must-read for anyone who values the role of higher education in society.

Maybe the single most important book I’ve ever read on higher education. A must read for all tenure track faculty, especially those of us in the sciences, as well as ALL prospective graduate students and postdocs: – source
