Do part-time professors hurt education?

Christopher Magan, staff writer for the Dayton Daily News, reports “as college costs and enrollment continue to rise, many universities are turning to lower-paid part-time professors to educate students.  The percentage of full-time professors teaching college classes has plummeted nationally during the past 35 years from 70 to 50 percent. Unions representing professors characterize the shift as a staffing crisis that hurts student achievement.”
