Abstract

This exploratory study explores the types and level of explicit support available for adjunct faculty on institution's public-facing websites by analyzing a random sample of 50 non-profit four-year institutions of higher education in the United States. The sample, drawn from the Carnegie Classification, indicates the information strategies for a range of colleges and universities. Public-facing institutional websites are an important source of information that is used by adjunct faculty to acquire information regarding work requirements, academic policies, financial payment information, etc. This study considers the variations in website content and concludes by recommending content and features that support adjunct faculty.
