National Adjunct Walkout Day

National Adjunct Walkout Day is an awareness event observed by adjunct college instructors to highlight the challenges they face, including low pay, job insecurity, and lack of benefits. Adjunct professors often work multiple jobs and lack long-term job protections, impacting their ability to provide quality education. The walkout aims to draw attention from the public, institutions, and policymakers to advocate for fair wages, better working conditions, and recognition for adjunct faculty members, emphasizing their essential role in higher education.
