 Perspectives on adjunct and other non-tenure faculty Community College Enterprise, The - Find Articles
Although the plight of adjunct faculty is a hot topic in educational circles, it has received little attention at the national level.
Technically, an adjunct is one who is appended to a college or university as a professor but not actually a part of it.
But many more derogatory slang terms have sprung up for adjunct professors including, "roads scholars, freeway flyers, easy-A's, and gypsy geeks." As such, they are not granted tenure, but may become regulars with some expectation of continuing employment (Caprio et al., 1998).

 Professor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor by courtesy: a professor who is primarily and originally associated with one academic department, but has become officially associated with a second department, institute, or program within the university and has assumed a professor's duty in that second department as well.
Typically, such a professor may be invaluable to his university department in procuring research funding and/or in publishing scholarly works, and therefore the department would prefer that he not distract himself with teaching duties that are not directly linked to his research activities.
In fiction, in accordance with a stereotype, professors are often depicted as being shy and absent-minded.

This is in recognition of his work to achieve “equal pay for equal work between part-time faculty and full-time faculty.” Hoeller points out that “during that four-year period (1999-2004), all thirty of Washington’s colleges raised salaries for full-time faculty an average of $3,560.
