* the possible administrative roles of part-time/adjunct faculty
* ways to improve part-time instruction including training programs
* technology and part-time/adjunct faculty
* the role of student evaluations in part-time/adjunct instruction
* other administrative oversights of part-time/adjunct work including those involving academic freedom.
