<p>I would be concerned. One thing I would check immediately would be percentage of full-time faculty vs. part-time faculty. A school in financial straits will often economize bt hiring adjuncts. A large adjunct faculty definitely does impact academic quality. </p>
<p>I do not mean to offend adjuncts. I teach full-time at one college and adjunct at another, and while I don’t think I offer a different classroom experience when I adjunct, a largely full-time faculty ensures more curriculum review, more continuity of classes and better mentoring for students.</p>
