Adjunct Angst: The Dollar Value of A College Education

Listen Thursday, Jan. 10, 2008 at 12:06 p.m. in Economy, Education

For Washington-area universities, the large pool of professionals willing to teach on a part-time basis is an embarrassment of riches. But some have argued that colleges are over-relying on part-time labor, and underpaying teachers. We learn about a new collective bargaining agreement between George Washington University and a local union of part-time and adjunct staff.
