This article discusses the demographic profile, employment motivations, and changing roles of virtual faculty who hold part-time appointments. These insights are drawn from a 2006-2007 survey of forty-two part-time faculty working for virtual universities under the purview of the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities for the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). WASC faculty were surveyed using an online questionnaire consisting of thirty-nine close-ended and twenty-four open-ended questions and semistructured telephone interviews. Additional information on the demographic profile comes from a 2005 survey of eighty-four faculty at Walden University, a virtual university with membership in the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Walden faculty were surveyed using an online questionnaire consisting of twelve close-ended questions. Questionnaire response rates for both studies were 27 percent. (Contains 1 table.)
