Adjuncts Speak IAAP New International Organization

Adjunct practitioners or part time college instructors find little benefits in practicing their profession as instructors. It seems that the business of college education finds it more lucrative to hire part time faculty (both online and on the ground)limiting the courses and thus the opportunity for full-time status.



This leaves many part-timers who had once had the hope of one day working as a tenured faculty, with broken dreams and empty pockets and no health insurance. Why complain asks the founder of the IAAP, Marilyn E. Veincentotzs. Frankly, I do not believe in being a complainer unless I am going to try to do something to solve the problem. The problem with low salaries, lack of respect for the educator, is a commentary on the society that promoted this type of attitude and value system.



Educators are not respected in the US and other countries as well. But, the business end of education, especially the online colleges, are doing quite well but simply not passing on the profits to the instructors. Many online instructors are earning less than $10.00 per hour per course and recieve no benefits, are limited to only a few courses and there is no contract for continued employment. Educators, must unite and demand the respect by showing their value, commitment and persistence to fight for their rightful place among other professional careers who receive decent salaries and benefits. But, until the downtrodden demand their rights, those who profit will continue to provide slave wages. The IAAP is an ancronym for the International Association of Adjuct Practitioners. Adjunct Nation in their July/August Issue interviewed Marilyn for the issue.
