Partial Load Faculty fulfill an important role at the college and in the lives of their students, often doing more than they are paid for. These highly educated, committed workers provide a quality of education that cannot be matched by part time or sessional employees who must work at other jobs to survive. Many partial load faculty have been with the college for years. If they lose these half-time positions, they probably will have to leave the education sector entirely in order to provide for their families. partialload.org
