Solano part-time professors forward employment issues – Daily Republic

By Susan Winlow

Solano Community College part-time professors and teachers chose not to walk out on this first national day of recognition – National Adjunct Walkout Day – but they still want others to know about the disparity between part-time and full-time employees.

Instead of heading to the state Capitol on Wednesday, the Solano Adjunct Alliance is holding its first Adjunct Awareness Week Feb. 23-27 with fliers, buttons and wristbands, and classroom conversations with students.

Two of the complaints that Rachel Aptekar, an adjunct biology professor with a Ph.d, said are at the forefront are poor pay with fewer benefits than their full-time counterparts, and lack of job security.
