The Center for the Future of Higher Education recently released a report detailing the university employment trends that are hurting both institutions and their students. As adjunct and part-time professors become a common sight on college campuses, they sometimes struggle to be effective educational leaders with the limited resources they are given. Partially because of university funding cuts and lower enrollment, many colleges are no longer hiring the best professors they can find and granting them tenure after they have been a part of the university for a certain number of years. Lately, it is not uncommon for schools to hire adjunct professors and fixed-term faculty members at the last second in order to save money.
