- Abstract
The majority of Canadian universities and colleges are publicly regulated and funded. Within them a considerable proportion of the professoriate bold the rank of "contract academic staff," employees who work part time or hold temporary contract positions. Many of the contract holders are women. This article will discuss the relationships among gender and the contract (often part-time) and untenured academics within the public and the expanding corporate universities in Canada and will predict how commercialized universities may affect employment practices in the future.
