- Aronowitz argues that there is a four-tier system in higher education, with adjuncts, part-timers, and other contingent workers making up the fourth tier. He suggests that fourth-tier workers should form their own organizations to better represent the needs of part-time workers. While Aronowitz is talking about separate bargaining units for fourth-tier workers, we have also seen and experienced the need for additional spaces for professional growth. Adjunct-led and adjunct-only programming has been our response to the need for spaces dedicated to addressing adjunct-specific needs and issues. – Jo
