摘要：One very important factor gaining attention in the college student retention literature involves consideration of the impact of increased utilization of part-time faculty and the degree to which this utilization impacts student retention. Colleges and Universities rely heavily on part- time faculty, especially in teaching lower-level undergraduate courses. Is part-time faculty having an adverse impact on student retention, mainly during the first year. Are colleges and universities recognizing and studying potential issues that may arise when incoming freshmen students are exposed to part-time instruction. This paper examines the impact of student exposure to part-time faculty instruction and provides suggestions on how institutions might thoughtfully engage this pervasive issue.
