@sdonohue Hey Stacey, I was trying to post something to the two-year college group, and there is no forum. Is that the case for the PTF group. I can post but others can’t? In any event, you might change the settings so any member can make a forum post! I am going to check the settings on the PTF group. Maybe that is why all of these groups…[Read more]

We have a blog: http://thetwoyearcollege.mla.hcommons-staging.org/ is that what you mean? I’m not sure about the distinction between a blog and a forum, but I’ll try to figure that out.

HEP Part-Time and Contingent Faculty Issues on MLA Commons 12 years, 3 months agoYou recently received a notice from the MLA that you are invited to participate in the discussion of the groups and how they are organized. Several respondents have suggested that the “Part-time faculty” group should be “changed” to the Non-Tenure-Track faculty group. There is a group that is “contingent labor in the professions” . It is a…[Read more]

Definitely keep this as part-time faculty. Universities such as Tiffin University do not have ANY tenure track employees/faculty as all full-time faculty are not tenured and no tenure is possible there. There is definitely a distinction between full-time and part-time and that does not necessarily equal tenured/non-tenured.
