National Adjunct Walkout Day Roundup
On February 25th, faculty across the country participated in demonstrations, rallies and teach-ins to mark National Adjunct Walkout Day and to highlight the inequities faced by adjunct faculty and to call for fair wages and greater focus on instruction and instructors in higher education. We had a live blog of the best posts, articles, tweets, and photos from the day; read that here. Below are some of the best stories and photos from the #NAWD.
