Public support for higher education has dwindled since the recession, so how can cash-strapped community colleges nurture and sustain high-performing faculty and prepare them to assist more low-income students?

In trying to answer that persistent question, a new report from the Center for Community College Engagement finds part-time adjunct professors aren't getting the support they need. The report presents a grim outlook: while community colleges rely increasingly on part-time faculty they are failing to invite them into their institutions as full-time partners.
