Do you need to capitalize the word faculty?

The word "faculty" should not be capitalized unless it is being used as part of a proper noun, such as the name of a specific faculty at a university. In general usage, it is considered a common noun and should be written in lowercase.


Can you call an adjunct faculty at a community college a professor?

Sometimes. In U.S. colleges and universities, "professor" is an academic rank awarded by the institution that employs faculty. The most common titles in order of rank, lowest to highest, are instructor; assistant professor; associate professor; full professor. The last three are so-called "professorial" ranks, and the people who hold them may be addressed as "professor." People in the lower ranks -- tutor, docent, lecturer, instructor, for example -- are addressed according to their preferences: Ms., Mrs., Mr. Adjunct faculty may have been appointed as "adjunct professors" or may have professorial rank at another institution. In either case, it is proper to address those people as "professor." [Faculty who hold a doctorate may be addressed as "doctor," irrespective of academic rank.] Many people in the U.S.A. use "professor" as a general honorific. It is not a serious breach of etiquette, therefore, to call any faculty, adjunct or otherwise, "professor," merely as an equivalent of "sir" or "madam."

What is the difference between part time and adjunct professors?

"Adjunct" sounds nicer. That sounds somewhat facetious, but it's essentially true: Adjunct professors are typically employed on a temporary, part-time basis, so effectively they're the same thing, it's just a matter of what the school chooses to call them. (One reason for using the title is that isn't not as negative-sounding... many adjunct professors hold full time jobs during the day, and teach night classes in specialized topics that the regular faculty isn't really qualified to teach.)


Is earth a verb?

What is an adjunct professor and What traits does an adjunct professor possess?

Someone who does not have a permanent position at the academic institution; this may be someone with a job outside the academic institution teaching courses in a specialized field; or it may refer to persons hired to teach courses on contractual basis (frequently renewable contracts); it is generally a part-time position with a teaching load below the minimum required to earn benefits (health care, life insurance, etc.), although the number of courses taught can vary from a single course to a full-time load (or even an overload). An adjunct is generally not required to participate in the administrative responsibilities at the institution expected of other full-time professors, nor do they generally have research responsibilities. The pay for these positions is usually nominal, even though adjuncts typically hold a Ph.D., requiring most adjuncts to hold concurrent positions at several institutions or in industry. Due to the considerably lower salaries of adjunct professors, many universities in North America have reduced hiring of tenure-track faculty in favor of recruiting adjuncts on a contractual basis. Contingent faculty now make up more than half of all faculty positions in the United States.[2] Adjuncts provide flexibility to the faculty, acting as additional teaching resources to be called up as necessary; however, their teaching load is variable: classes can be transferred from adjuncts to full-time professors, classes with low enrollment can be summarily canceled and the teaching schedule from one semester to the next can be unpredictable. Furthermore, if the university makes a good faith offer to an adjunct professor of teaching during the following semester depending on enrollment, the adjunct generally cannot file for unemployment during the break. In some cases, an adjunct may hold one of the standard ranks in another department, and be recognized with adjunct rank for making significant contributions to the department in question. Thus, e.g., one could be a "Associate Professor of Physics and Adjunct Professor of Chemistry."
