Empirical Insights into Shift-Based Faculty Inequity in Self-Financing Colleges

Abstract This study investigates the structural inequities between faculty members of Shift I and Shift II in self-financing colleges. Using a mixed-methods system, the study analyzes differences in workload, remuneration, qualifications, and professional development opportunities. The experimental findings reveal pronounced disparities, with Shift II faculty facing higher workloads, lower pay, and limited career advancement, reflecting systemic inequities embedded in the dual-shift model.
