Description of the Book:

Drawing from information submitted to the Illinois Community College Board by the state’s public community colleges, this report offers fall 1986 data on the personal and academic characteristics of part-time faculty. Tables are presented and analyzed, comparing part-time faculty to full-time faculty in terms of gender, racial/ethnic origin, age, highest degree earned, general primary teaching area, and specific primary teaching area. Additional tables are appended, providing data on full- and part-time faculty by community college district; racial/ethnic origin of part-time faculty by sex and community college district; age of part-time faculty by community college district; and part-time faculty’s highest degree earned by sex and community college district. Highlighted findings include the following: (1) nearly 69% of the fall 1986 teaching staff of the state’s community colleges were employed on a part-time basis; (2) the male/female distribution of part-time faculty was more balanced than that of full-time faculty, though males were overrepresented in both groups; (3) whites comprised 89.5% of the part-time faculty, compared to 87.6% of the full-time faculty; (4) part-time faculty tended to be younger than full-time faculty; and (5) non-credit, remedial, general studies, adult basic and secondary, and vocational skills programs were heavily staffed by

part-time faculty. (PAA
