\nMore Australian universities are relying on casual academics to teach their students. It\u2019s difficult to estimate the exact proportion of academic staff on casual contracts, but reports suggest up to\u00a080% of undergraduate courses<\/a>\u00a0in some Australian universities have been taught by a casual academic. By mid-2018, an estimated 94,500 people were employed at Australian universities on a casual basis, primarily in\u00a0teaching-only roles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Research suggests the higher education sector is the\u00a0third largest employer<\/a>\u00a0of casual staff nationwide, just behind health- and social-care and retail.<\/p>\n

Although casual academics are on temporary contracts, some have been working for universities\u00a0longer than their colleagues on continuing contracts<\/a>. This trend is not unique to Australia. There are concerns the number of casual academics working in higher education is\u00a0growing worldwide<\/a>. Current research suggests several explanations.<\/p>\n

First, the casualisation of academic labour mirrors the\u00a0growing number<\/a>of\u00a0part-time and temporary contracts<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0other employment sectors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Second, casual academic contracts provide workforce flexibility at a time when student\u00a0enrolments are fluctuating<\/a>\u00a0and budgets are limited. This means universities can service their teaching needs on a just-in-time basis.<\/p>\n

Third, because casual academic contracts have none of the benefits of continuing contracts, they\u00a0allow employers to<\/a>\u00a0reduce overall labour costs <\/a>.<\/p>\n

Using casual academics brings benefits and challenges. But casualised labour won\u2019t be done away with any time soon. We suggest universities manage their casualised staff more effectively and equitably \u2013 and bring their employment conditions as close to those of permanent staff as possible.<\/p>\n

Concerns about casual academics<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There are growing concerns about the impact of casual academics on the quality of teaching. Australia\u2019s\u00a0higher education regulator<\/a>, for example, states that an \u201cunusually high reliance on casual staff poses risks for the quality of the students experience\u2033.<\/p>\n

Our unpublished research suggests casual academics are often recruited on an ad hoc basis, which is unlike the highly regulated recruitment processes for continuing staff. This means more reliance on personal connections, short notice and limited market searches.<\/p>\n

Continuing staff are usually required to complete some form of professional development to keep up-to-date with teaching and research innovations. However, professional development for casual academics is often limited, with\u00a0little oversight from the employer<\/a>. In some instances it has to be in their own time and at their own expense.<\/p>\n

Short lead-in times to a casual contract also leave casual academics with little time to prepare course materials. Nor do they allow enough time to understand institutional cultures and policy requirements. Institutions with high numbers of casual staff may also find it difficult to ensure continuity of course offerings which can impact on\u00a0student learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Benefits of casual academics<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Despite these concerns, casual academics also bring important benefits to higher education. Many are industry professionals with a deep understanding of the real world practices they are teaching. They can also connect students and other university staff to their industry networks. This can create opportunities for industry research projects and student internships.<\/p>\n

Research also shows that many casual academics have high levels of commitment to their students. They\u00a0regularly go beyond<\/a>\u00a0their contractual obligations by writing job references, providing career advice and making connections for future employment.<\/p>\n

From the perspective of the individual casual academic, casual academic work is something of a\u00a0double-edged sword<\/a>. Some enjoy the flexibility of not having to fulfil service requirements such as attending meetings and annual performance reviews. Yet they also miss out on the benefits of being part of an academic community. This includes restricted opportunities for conference travel, professional development and promotion.<\/p>\n

Many casual academics enjoy the flexibility of working across different institutions. Yet they must also contend with less job security. There is no guarantee of work from one semester to the next, which creates a lack of financial security and benefits. For younger cohorts, this is especially problematic for mortgage applications and other loans.<\/p>\n

How to make it better<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There is an urgent need for a more effective and equitable approach to managing casual academics. Providing more permanent contracts may be one solution, budgets permitting, but\u00a0there are other options<\/a>. Besides, some casual academics prefer to retain the flexibility of casual work.<\/p>\n

Recruitment and selection of casual academics needs to be more rigorous. Clear job specifications are essential, with systematic interviewing and transparent decision making for all appointments.<\/p>\n

There also needs to be enough lead-in time to ensure adequate preparation before the start of a course. Effective induction to institutional learning and teaching policies is also required \u2013 especially for new appointees.<\/p>\n

Professional development opportunities need to be embedded into work contracts with time paid for by the employer. More attention also needs to be paid to support financial security, including a review of financial institutions\u2019 loan policies.<\/p>\n

Increased competition and budget cutbacks in the global higher education sector mean the use of casual academic labour will increase even further. Institutional policy makers must work effectively with these important partners in the education of the future labour force.<\/p>\n
