Fewer jobs for art professors in U.S.:
Fewer universities are posting jobs for art professors, according to the College Art Association. There was a 30 per cent decrease in the number of studio art jobs posted in the 2009 fiscal year compared to the year before. Teaching jobs in the art history field also decreased by 14 per cent. The College Art Association says its faculty members are facing the same issues that many would-be-professors are facing in America -- an increase in the number of part-time and adjunct positions.
