The Community College of Philadelphia is hiring part-time faculty in English. A current faculty member writes, "there are a few perks of teaching part-time at CCP: 1) CCP students are amazing, and many colleagues (faculty & staff) are phenomenally invested, introspective, and caring. 2) CCP hires full-timers from the adjunct pool. In fact, the college is contractually required by the union to hire some percentage of current adjuncts when they interview for full-time positions. So, unlike many universities, teaching part-time can potentially lead to getting hired full time. 3) CCP's union has been relatively strong over the years, and this means better benefits than most colleges offer to adjuncts: decent starting pay per credit for the region, more seniority pools, partial contributions to health care, and eventual partial retirement contributions. 4) CCP offers lots of great faculty-led professional development. In particular, there's currently a lot of energy...
