adjunct professors

Adjunct professors are part-time educators at colleges or universities who typically teach specific courses without full-time employment. They usually hold other jobs or have professional experience outside academia. While they provide valuable expertise and contribute to the academic environment, adjuncts often have less job security, fewer benefits, and limited responsibilities compared to full-time faculty. Their roles are essential in offering specialized knowledge and flexibility within higher education institutions, but they generally do not participate in administrative duties or long-term planning.
