20% of staff now just teach

Article Abstract:

New research conducted by the Association of University Teachers has revealed that 20 of academics are currently employed on teaching-only contracts, while at least 80% of teaching-only staff work on a part-time basis. The findings will raise concerns regarding the death of the link between research and teaching, as well as demonstrating the growing casualisation of the higher education sector.
