Commentary:  There are many factors that have contributed to the huge increase in tuition and fees.
      Part Time Faculty pay is clearly not one of them.                       
             YSU part time faculty are far from the only people in the country whose pay has not kept up  with the cost of living over the last 23 years.    However  0% versus 81% is so much that even those who have long been willing to partially donate their time teaching are perplexed at the imbalance that has been allowed to develop.    Some other part time faculty, heavily dependent on their teaching income, end up running around to multiple universities trying to work full time  or more for inflation ravaged amounts.
