Average Adjunct Pay - Avis employé Adjunct Professor Sam Houston State

Great atmosphere, very understanding, and good people

The pay wasn't that great, but that's just part of being part of the university.

Small Town. Easy To Get Hired. Health insurance premiums are covered for the employee. Student population is diverse. If you stay quiet, follow what the “in crowd”does, pretend or go along as if you are Christian, and do not speak up, you should be okay.

Old Boys Club Very Low Pay Expectations do not match how you are evaluated Department and College expectations vary drastically. Some are reasonable while others require 2-3 times as much in minimum expectations for office hours, attending events, etc. Little oversight over leadership at the college level Listening to ideas is performative. Leadership does not care about your ideas or suggestions. They have their mind made up and do not listen to input. Anonymous surveys are never anonymous. Anything you write will be used against you. No cost of living adjustments are allowed for faculty and merit pay increases are limited. When available, merit is usually a max of 2% and you compete against your colleagues in hopes of getting any increase in pay. With inflation, I make 9% less than I did when I started working here. I’ve only earned $4,000 in 6 years of merit pay. Administrators and staff get automatic cost of living increases plus merit raises.
