CCHA,
a member of the CAW, announces the New AFT Report on Academic
Staffing: Reversing Course: The Troubled
State of Academic Staffing and a Path Forward.
This report takes a close look at classes taught by contingent
faculty and also breaks that data down broadly by disciplines
as well. The AFT report also provide a model for costing out how
to "reverse course." You can access the report, the
model, press release and links to media coverage which has been
pretty positive so far (including getting a piece in USA Today)

MLA Urges Chairs to Focus on Adjunct Issues
http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/05/07/qt#198364
The Modern Language Association is sending a letter to all English
and foreign language department chairs urging them to organize
discussions and activism to draw attention to the treatment of
adjuncts. The letter follows on both reports and policy positions
issued by the MLA, and urges discussions with department members
and administrators, publicizing "best practices" on
the use of non-tenure-track faculty members (including minimum
per course payments), urging the conversion of part-time positions
to full-time and so forth. The letter also urges chairs to raise
these issues when they sit on external review panels on other
campuses. "Especially in these difficult economic times,
we must vigorously make the case for the relevance of an excellent
humanities education," the letter says. "Students need
to be multiply literate, flexible, keen in their interpretive
capacities, and prepared to change career direction several times
over the course of their working lives. They deserve well-trained
and adequately paid faculty members who, working under good conditions,
are committed to teaching and learning, have time to prepare
classes and provide adequate feedback to students, and have opportunities
and support for professional development and advancement. Those
students are our future. And those who stand before them in the
classroom are our future as well." |
