Adjunct Faculty Status

Adjunct Faculty Status

My wife is adjunct faculty for several universities. While visiting some friends over the holidays, she expressed disappointment at the failure to be picked up for the coming semester by one of her employers. (They are short of students for the spring.) One of our friends, not being part of the university world, asked, "Adjunct faculty are 'at will' employees?" Before my wife had a chance to respond, I chimed in with, "Actually, more like 'at whim' employees."
