Best Answer

"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.)
