The hiring of a part-time faculty member is always based upon the class schedule needs and funds available. A part-time faculty staff teaches no more than 10 hours a semester and not more than 20 hours a year in a two semester program. The hiring is usually done one semester at a time since it is based on student enrollment. In 2005-2006, studies showed that more than half of faculty was part-time. The American Association of University Professors released in response that the change is reflective of the economy. The trend is moving away from stable lifetime positions with benefits. This promotes the part-time faculty positions with no benefits. It is happening in all higher learning institutions. There are both pros and cons for the effectiveness of the change. It is highly effective for colleges and universities who can expand or contract the number of classes offered because of an increasing number of part-time students. What is the Salary for the Criminal Justice Part-time Adjunct Faculty? Salary ranges are approximately $1,200 to $2,800 per term depending on course size and how long the adjunct faculty has been teaching at the college or university. This salary can increase based on education and experience. A master’s degree and doctorate degree commands substantially more pay. Advanced degrees plus experience can also provide a candidate with a greater part-time salary.
