Similar to these ratios, in Spring 2023, 33.3% of the gatekeeper course sections were taught by FT faculty and 66.7% were taught by PT faculty. As higher education is increasingly relying on adjunct faculty, it is crucial that the effects are examined in depth. However, challenges pertaining to part-time faculty are complex due to their limited access to professional development, administrative and technology support, office space, accommodations for meeting with students, and low pay, to name a few [2].
