Contingent faculty are an important part of the workforce in higher education because they are mainly tasked with teaching entry-level undergraduate courses. However, there is not much knowledge regarding their rise to majority faculty appointments in U.S. colleges and universities, the constitution of this new faculty, the past and present issues they face regularly, or what the future holds for them. This chapter will review the literature about the historical growth of non-tenure-track hiring in U.S. colleges and universities, provide a description of the composition of this faculty, and outline specific issues they deal with while addressing opportunities advancement as well as their overall satisfaction with their work conditions.

A writing teacher reflects on her professional experiences in the U.S. and in Canada. This personal narrative focuses on the incongruencies the practitioner notices between faculty representation and program recognition in her roles first as a Limited Term Appointment Assistant Professor of Composition and Professional Writing at a Canadian university, and next as a tenure-track instructor of writing at an American college. Programmatic differences are attributed to the historic visibility of American First-Year Composition, greater numbers of faculty, and the increased allocation of resources to program development and faculty support.

Accounting Courses

The accounting profession is facing a potential crisis not only from the overall shortage of accounting faculty driven by smaller numbers of new faculty entering the profession as many existing faculty retire but also from changes that have been less well documented.  This includes: (1) changes in attitude towards the roles of teaching, service and research and (2) changes in performance measurement and compensation.  If not adequately addressed, many institutions may have difficulty staffing adequate sections of accounting courses.  Implications could include an even greater increase in teaching by non-tenure track faculty, which could have significant implications for accreditation and potentially on the quality of accounting education

In this article we report the outcomes of a needs assessment administered to new faculty members who were hired within the last four years at Mount Royal University. Our purpose in conducting this needs assessment was to gather information to guide the redevelopment of the institution’s support program for new faculty in light of a changing institutional context (i.e., the transition from a college to a university).  Faculty members were asked what kinds of support and resources they perceived themselves as needing during the first year of their full-time appointment and what gaps were present in their professional development.  We review the key themes in faculty members’ self-identified needs and summarize the principles behind a new faculty development program that was informed by the results of this research.

Doctorate Programs

This chapter describes how novice international faculty and scholars in American universities may face formidable challenges related to their new responsibilities and the cultural demands as they begin their tenure-track careers in the academe. Upon completion of the doctorate programs, some find themselves in organizations that have unfamiliar cultures and expectations. Regardless of their background, nationality or experience, they are expected to maintain the trademarks of teaching, scholarship, advisement, and community service in order to survive the rigor of academe. Unfortunately, the reality is often more overwhelming for international faculty and scholars because of multifaceted acculturation issues that are related to their new country and organization. Mentors can serve as facilitators for novice faculty. Through teamwork, mentors and novice faculty members can construct knowledge and create a culture of collaboration. It is envisioned that cross- culturally sensitive mentoring can help to ease the challenges of the new faculty as they navigate their unfamiliar environment in the academe.
