The Chronicle News Blog: Instructors Off Tenure Track Mark Today as ‘New Faculty Majority Day’
Non-tenure track faculty members, on University of California campuses and elsewhere, are teaching their classes outside, holding rallies, and wearing red today in observance of the first-ever New Faculty Majority Day.
The point is to draw attention to the fact that most people who teach at colleges and universities nowadays work outside the tenure track, many of them part time and with no job security. Today’s “national day of action” gets its name from a newly formed coalition of contingent faculty members, The New Faculty Majority.
