Abstract

This chapter presents a case study to address the question: What are the perceptions of academic program directors and adjunct faculty about institutional and program-specific practices to build community among remote adjunct faculty? A review of literature evidences that part-time faculty have become a substantial component of the delivery of higher education, but there is a need to assess the nature of the relationship between part-time faculty and the institutions they work for. Through a series of telephone interviews, faculty and program directors' perceptions were analyzed to articulate themes associated with defining the nature of community at a college or university and to identify activities or practices at the institutional and program levels that lend themselves to building community. Results suggest that colleges and universities should focus on strategies that build and solidify faculty relationships and focus on the allocation of resources.
