adjuncts
Supplementary faculty members
Adjuncts are things added but not essential—secondary elements that supplement rather than constitute the core.
In grammar, an adjunct is a word or phrase that modifies but could be removed without destroying the sentence: On Tuesday in On Tuesday, we left.
In academia, an adjunct professor teaches part-time without tenure-track status.
In brewing, adjuncts are grains or sugars added beyond the primary ingredients: The lager uses rice as an adjunct.
