Abstract
A desire for improved worklife balance has prompted more faculty to work less than one full-time equivalent. While not exclusive, women faculty are especially to make this request. This chapter explores the hidden value of part-time faculty and the perceptions of department chairs and their department managers about these special faculty members.
