In "Study: Adjuncts, big classes may discourage freshmen," professor Whiting Wicker was paraphrased as saying "An AU adjunct teaches up to three courses per semester and must have a doctoral degree and hold office hours. While they teach less than full-time professors, the university also pays them proportionally less." In fact, Wicker later clarified, adjuncts teach three classes per year. Furthermore, Wicker said he was "most pleased" with his pay, even though it is, at times, proportionally than what full-time professors receive.
