Challenges facing adjunct professors were among topics of discussion on the “Marc Steiner Show” on Wednesday, November 13. Kimberly Moffitt, assistant professor of American Studies, joined other panelists in talking about many of the issues adjunct professors are dealing with, including low pay, little job security, and often no benefits.
The discussion covered a wide range of issues, including how many of the struggles adjunct professors face ultimately end up trickling down to the students they teach.
“For me, I’m always trying to think about the students for these types of issues, so when I think about what the future looks like, it feels like a great loss to our students in terms of great teachers,” Moffitt said.
Joining Moffitt in the discussion were Ericka Blount Danois, adjunct professor at the University of Maryland, Mark Chalkley, adjunct professor, Baltimore City Community College and Community College of Baltimore County and Mary Kambic, adjunct professor, Baltimore City Community College and Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC).
