ADJUNCT COMMITTEE
Chair Virginia Caputo reports:
The Adjunct Committee held its first Adjunct Information Session on March 12 and its second on April 9. The focus of the former was on providing an overview of the Union and the latter was on going over adjunct rights according to the CBA, MOAs, and MOUs. There was much interest in the sessions, and both were well-attended.
The next Information Session will be held on Wednesday, May 14th, at 7:00p via Zoom. The focus will be on adjunct benefits. The meeting is open to all adjuncts – teaching and non-teaching, credit and non-credit, and Union and non-Union members. The link will be e-mailed out. Please join us!
For those who are interested, the slides from the sessions, along with accompanying videos, are available on the website.
