Part-time faculty have long played an important role in US postsecondary education. Jacobs (1998) relates that beginning in the late Middle Ages, priests visited colleges and universities to pursue scholarly interests and to collaborate with other researchers. Following the Civil War, professionals began to teach part-time, providing expertise unavailable among full-time faculty.
