Abstract

This chapter presents three themes that have emerged from the previous chapters and offers ideas on how to implement recommendations within IR offices. This volume provided descriptive data to illustrate the current state of faculty representation by tenure‐track and contingent status by institutional sector and type. In addition, this issue examined factors driving contingent faculty use, the various roles contingent faculty play, how those roles differ by institutional type, and how institutional researchers collect and disseminate information regarding contingent faculty on their campus. In this chapter, we synthesize the previous seven chapters and discuss several themes that emerged from the chapters.
