By hiring adjunct faculty at one-fourth the cost, universities save approximately $60,000 according to numbers gathered by National Public Radio.

Feldman and Turnley (2001) found that many adjuncts seek part-time teaching positions because of flexible scheduling and a desire to work with seasoned faculty.

To avoid the added costs, at least two dozen colleges earlier this year cut the number of courses taught by adjuncts in order to keep them below the 30-hour threshold, according to media reports.
