The Coalition on the Academic Workforce in search of PD programs for contingent faculty

by E Wayne Ross on June 12, 2006

Call for Programs:

The Coalition on the Academic Workforce (CAW) is looking for programs (association- and institution-based) that support the work and professional development of contingent faculty

The Coalition on the Academic Workforce maintains a website, http://www.academicworkforce.org/, where it is developing two lists of programs that address adjunct and contingent faculty work.

One list will feature programs supported by associations, and it will document various kinds of help associations offer adjunct and contingent faculty. The other list will feature institutional programs.

If your institution has a program or policy that supports non-tenure line faculty members through benefits and practices to help these teachers share in institutional work, practice, and culture, please send an electronic link or description of that program to Monica F. Jacobe at mjacobe@aaup.org. You may also send information about programs you may know of at other institutions.
