Creating a Campus Culture of Integrity: Comparing the Perspectives of Full- and Part-time Faculty

Engaging Students and Faculty: Examining and Overcoming the Barriers

“…A study by Hudd et al (2009) found that full-time and part-time faculty (sometimes referred to as sessional or casual faculty) respond to academic integrity breach cases differently. For example, part-time faculty expressed more lenient attitudes towards academic integrity breaches than their full-time counterparts.…”

Adjunct Faculty and the Library: A Challenge for Change

“…However, Landrum (2009) failed to find any difference. Some articles took a different approach in examining the impact of adjunct faculty on student success; Jacoby (2006) investigated the effects of part-time faculty on graduation rates in community colleges, while Hudd et al (2009) focused on the academic integrity of part-time and full-time faculty.…”

The most complete studies were conducted by Gappa and Leslie (1993) and Rajagopal (2002).…”

“…But in the west, the practice has been under attack (Gappa & Leslie, 1993;Hudd, Apgar, Bronson, & Lee, 2009;Pope, 2008;Schmidt, 2008) for causing a decline in academic standards and exploitation of new academic members. Despite the criticisms, among the part-time faculty, a group of practitioner-part-time-teachers for professional education, due to the nature of professional knowledge and their expertise, have been invaluable to professional education.…”
