Adjunct Pay Timing

One of the issues ODU AAUP has taken up in the Fall of 2023 is the timing of the first pay disbursement for our adjuncts.

Adjuncts must wait about five weeks before they get their first pay disbursement. Given the notoriously low pay of adjuncts at Old Dominion University and across the country, this delay can cause enormous economic stress on adjuncts.

The timing of adjunct pay falls within AAUP’s mission of promoting the economic security of faculty.

ODU AAUP is currently working alongside Tim Norton, the representative for the adjuncts in the English Department, and the Office of Academic Affairs to come up with an equitable solution. We believe that a solution is possible that would expedite the first pay disbursement for adjuncts without placing strain on the payroll department.
