Research on casualisation and the effects on students and quality of teaching:
"The key finding is that loading teaching on casual staff reduces student satisfaction. As a consequence, universities should think twice before considering cutting costs by pushing teaching on to casual staff given the implications this will likely have on student satisfaction."
"an increased proportion of casual teaching leads to lower student satisfaction"
"the working conditions for casualised staff are the learning conditions for students and that’s why staff and student representatives need to work together in combatting casualisation."
"casual academics in Australian higher education providers have to cope with, among other issues, inadequate working conditions, lack of job security, differences in treatment as compared to full-time faculty and little support to engage in research activities"
