Seattle University adjunct professor: 'I seem to be an afterthought'

Bill Radke sits down with Seattle University professor Nancy Burkhalter to talk about her experience as an adjunct, or part-time professor, at the university.

More than half of all professors in the U.S. are adjuncts, and they receive far fewer benefits than their tenured or tenure-track colleagues who are essentially guaranteed employment for life.

Last week, Seattle University adjunct professors voted to unionize, and a union is expected to be certified sometime next week.
