Assessing Institutional Support for Remote Adjunct Faculty Teaching Online

Abstract

Creating an inclusive culture for remote adjunct faculty teaching online involves a holistic shift to embrace contingent faculty as integral, value-added members of the institution. The first step in this shift mandates a realistic appraisal of the current “remote adjunct friendliness” status of the institution. The Institutional Inclusive Practice Appraisal: Remote Adjunct Faculty offers an actionable self-assessment to examine policies, procedures, communication, engagement opportunities and professional growth that may impact the working environment for remote adjunct faculty teaching online.
