Baltimore Sun: Lecturers to get benefits
Regents to require colleges to provide health, retirement coverage to long-term teachers
The University System of Maryland agreed yesterday to require its colleges to provide traditional benefits to long-term contractual lecturers, who occupy an expanding second tier of the state’s teaching work force.
The Sun reported in December that nearly 300 full-time instructors at five colleges were not eligible for retirement and other benefits. At Coppin State and Frostburg State universities, some lecturers who had been in their jobs for more than a decade weren’t even getting health insurance.
