Here’s a message posted to our faculty listserv today by our very own Amy Lynch-Biniek. Given the persistent discussions of cutting “temporary” faculty lines, this seems particularly timely:
Dear Colleague:
The Coalition on the Academic Workforce (CAW) http://www.academicworkforce.org/Members.html has released an issue brief calling for improvements in the current staffing ratios at colleges and universities, increased support for faculty members serving in contingent positions, and inclusion of all faculty members in the work and life of their institutions. The issue brief and other resources for addressing deteriorating faculty working conditions and their effects are available at the CAW Web site, www.academicworkforce.org
The MLA is a founding member of the CAW and looks forward to working with its fellow members on future projects.
Cordially,
Rosemary G. Feal
Executive Director
