MLA Academic Workforce Data Center

Speaking of data and MLA studies, our department chair Don Bialostosky, a member of the MLA's committee on contingent faculty, calls our attention to the MLA's Academic Workforce Data Center. Here you can "view historic information about staffing patterns at individual institutions of higher education" and "search for an institution and view the numbers and percentages of tenure-track, full-time non-tenure-track, and part-time faculty members at that institution in 1995 and in 2009."

"The MLA invites members of the contingent academic workforce to participate in a survey about their current working conditions."
