Abstract: This research investigated the status of adjunct faculty utilization, institutional support, inclusion and specifically examined the culture while focusing on a clear description and analysis of what systems and opportunities existed to serve adjuncts, the institution and its academic programs, and students. Within the scope of this research, systems have been defined as the terms and conditions under which adjunct faculty are hired and opportunities reflect the physical and psychological needs within the context of the teaching institution. This case study also investigated the interrelationships among adjunct and full-time faculty and the relationship of adjuncts to the coordinators and deans. The findings also shed light upon the differences in inclusion, support, and benefits provided to adjunct faculty. These differences pointed to how part-time faculty were viewed in terms of their professional currency and relevance to real world terms and how that currency and relevance were valued by the institution.
