Description: Normal work for an academic has been to perform a range of duties involving teaching, research, administration and community service. As universities take a business approach to the delivery of education this work has been disaggregated. Universities now greatly use a peripheral workforce to deliver, in particular, teaching. In this universities seem to have been guided by flexibility, efficiency and productivity and ignored quality. This preliminary study of sessionals in one faculty at one university indicates that matters of process for sessionals may have improved but support for the delivery of a quality product is still badly wanting.
