D’s at a LAC. Her professors are mostly tenure track or tenured (but there are visiting profs there for a year or two also). Only 3% are part time (aka adjunct), but she had one of them who was recruited specifically to teach a course in his professional field. That was really fun for her and she learned a lot.
The only dud prof she’s had in the 4 years was a “first year after PhD” one who only taught there for one year (pretty sure this prof got terrible student reviews/feedback and wasn’t asked back) and is now teaching elsewhere.
Interesting article on adjuncts at LACs that points out what has been mentioned here - usually thought of as money-savers, sometimes they are recruited for their specific expertise in something. I mean, if Barack Obama or Anthony Kennedy taught one law class somewhere next semester they’d technically be adjuncts, right? In that they’d be non-tenure part timers.
