After part-time and full-time faculty members at New York City Technical College expressed concern about the need for efforts to cater to the requirements of departmental adjunct faculty, a study was undertaken to determine part-time faculty needs (services and support systems) in the hopes of mainstreaming them in the biological sciences department. Questionnaires surveying support systems and facilities for full-time faculty were given to the full-time faculty; the part-time faculty, course coordinators, and chairperson received another questionnaire on the needs of part-time faculty. Some of the areas of need determined by part- time staff were social interaction between full- and part-time faculty, communication between the two groups, involvement in academic decision making, supplementary assistance to students, and efforts on the part of the administration to mainstream the part-time faculty. The study indicated it would be beneficial to conduct a needs assessment regularly, design an information manual on departmental regulations and policies, and involve part-time faculty in decision making. A combined committee of the two faculty sectors was recommended along with encouragement of social interaction, establishment of continuing communications links, and encouragement of office hours in which the part-time faculty could assist students. Also included in this report is a history of the background and significance of the employment of part-time faculty. The questionnaire and letters related to the survey are appended. (SM)
