by Stuart Rojstaczer. A Duke professor's look at some of the unpleasant realities of the modern research university.

The Vanishing Professor
American Federation of Teachers, Higher Education Department, 1999. "...no issue, none whatsoever, arouses more concern among our members than the erosion of full-time tenure track faculty positions and their replacement by a growing, and exploited, army of part-time and other non tenure-track faculty. This publication is intended to help affiliates who want to take positive and effective action on both fronts: to curb the loss of full-time jobs on campus and to improve conditions for part-time faculty and other contingent academic workers."
