We will discuss a recent AAUP report on the topic and review eight policy recommendations covering topics including:

Part-time versus full-time contingent appointments
Eligibility requirements for participating in governance
The participation of contingent faculty in peer evaluations and promotions-and-tenure reviews
Compensation for governance participation
Institutional retaliation

What: Free online webinar: "Contingent Appointments and Faculty Governance"

When: Friday, November 1, at 1:00 Eastern Standard Time

Who: Mayra Besosa, Chair of the AAUP’s Committee on Contingency and the Profession, will present

In order to allow time for questions, participation will be limited to the first twenty-five respondents.

This webinar is offered as part of Campus Equity Week, a national week of actions to raise awareness of the vast majority of faculty who serve in insecure part- and full-time non-tenure-track jobs.
