Three-quarters of American college professors are adjuncts, according to various recent studies. The Atlantic Monthly framed the issue in terms of a battle for not just working professors, but the quality of higher education; the magazine explored the question, "Can a budding labor movement improve the lives of non-tenured faculty - and, in the process, fix higher education?" We discuss the move toward unionization among adjuncts, and what that might mean for professors and students. Our guests: Colleen Wolf , adjunct lecturer in music at Nazareth College Jake Allen, organizer for SEIU-Faculty Forward at Nazareth College Pat Domaratz, labor relations specialist employed by NYSUT Paul Ciminelli , Second Amendment expert and attorney at Ciminelli & Ciminelli, and adjunct professor in homeland security management at Monroe Community College
