Like contingent faculty at other colleges and universities, much of Mason’s non-tenure track faculty, especially part-time faculty members, earn less than a living wage, have little to no benefits, lack job security, lack representation, and have few opportunities for advancement. This report documents the results of a working conditions (climate) survey conducted on contingent faculty at George Mason University during the Spring Semester of 2013, along with suggested recommendations.

One factor that has not been explored fully for its potential impact on inmate coping is religion. Using data from a representative survey of inmates at a large prison facility in the Southeastern region of the United States (N=386), we explore the degree to which religiosity impacts both emotional and behavioral forms of prison coping. We find that religiosity does not appear to help inmates cope with a range of negative emotions, but does directly reduce the frequency of arguments with other inmates. We conclude with implications of the study and suggestions for future research.
