Part-Time Faculty: Semantics And The Meaning Of Contingent Teaching, Margaret E. Winters
Part-Time Faculty: Semantics And The Meaning Of Contingent Teaching, Margaret E. Winters
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
The variety of titles for non-tenure-track, part-time, contingent faculty and their semantic meanings are explored. The terms are not random when looked at collectively, but rather form a pattern which is indicative of contemporary post-secondary academic employment and culture. More specifically, these titles reflect several characteristics of the faculty who bear them: among others, the fact that they are not in full-time employment, the fact that their contracts are for shorter periods of time than those of tenure-track faculty, and the fact that their contracts reflect an expectation of impermanence in employment. Also expressed in the titles are more nuanced …

Countering Contingency?, Richard Westbury Nettell
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
The University of Hawai‘i Professional Assembly (UHPA) represents higher education faculty across the state, in a system that includes one major research university, two four-year colleges, and six community colleges. Qualification to be a member of the bargaining unit (and receive full health benefits) is 50% employment. Furthermore, the term “faculty” includes not only instructional faculty (including lecturers, who are by definition temporary, and instructors, who are longer-term but non-tenure-track), but also researchers, librarians, counselors, and others who come under the general designation of specialist. This basically means everyone working in the state’s higher education system is part of the …

Bargaining Quality In Part-Time Faculty Working Conditions: Beyond Just-In-Time Employment And Just-At-Will Non-Renewal, Gary Rhoades
Bargaining Quality In Part-Time Faculty Working Conditions: Beyond Just-In-Time Employment And Just-At-Will Non-Renewal, Gary Rhoades
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
Two aspects of part-time faculty members’ working conditions that are problematic for educational quality are examined in this article—“just-in-time” employment and “just-at-will” non-renewal. With an eye to enhancing student learning conditions, the article explores feasible strategies that are found in the collective bargaining agreements of units for part-time only bargaining units. Collective bargaining provides a reasonable framework for rethinking, redefining, and renegotiating the working conditions of faculty working in part-time positions to improve student learning outcomes and educational quality.

Contingent Faculty Bargaining: Separate But Equal?, Marcia Newfield
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
In the 34 years since the PSC formed part-timers have gone from footnote to frontispiece, and our journey has been internal as well as external. What are our services worth? Why are they devalued? What does it mean when we are so fragmented? Why do people in our own departments, whom we have passed in hallways for years, not treat us as colleagues? What does it mean about the profession we’re part of that we're not part of its governance? What does it mean that our passion for our subjects has landed us in a situation where we hardly have …
“The One Best Bargaining Unit?”, Joe Berry
“The One Best Bargaining Unit?”, Joe Berry
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
In the Chicago area, and Illinois generally, there is not a single bargaining unit that includes both full-time tenure- track (FTTT) and all other contingent faculty of any institution. There are two units that include the FTTT and a large portion, varying by workload, of the contingents. All of the rest of the bargaining units in Illinois are either contingent-only units or FTTT-only, with a few of the contingent units also including academic professionals. Even recent efforts by some local existing FTTT unions to organize the contingents on their campuses have proposed separate units, with only some offering common membership …

It’S All About The Work All The Time: Commonality Of Interests In A Common Bargaining Unit, Elizabeth Hoffman
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
Lecturers, who are more than half of the 23,000 faculty in the CSU, are committed to their work but are not deluded as to their actual status in the system. Despite some success in encouraging the use of the professional term “Lecturer,” there are plenty of labels—the temps, the adjuncts, the part-time people—to remind contingent faculty of their lack of status. Perhaps the saddest but most accurate label for contingent faculty comes from the term used by academic union leaders in Mexico. Joe Berry used this term—in English, the “precarious” faculty—in a speech he made last January to a large …
Faculty Specialists/Contingent Faculty At Western Michigan University: A Personal Retrospective, Gary Mathews
Faculty Specialists/Contingent Faculty At Western Michigan University: A Personal Retrospective, Gary Mathews
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
In the Spring semester, 2005 I took a sabbatical for the second time in my twenty-nine years as a professor at Western Michigan University (WMU). The dictionary defines a sabbatical as “release from normal teaching duties granted to a professor, as for study or travel.” When faculty, friends and relatives ask me what I did on my sabbatical, I first tell them that I spent the month of January in Aruba; basking in the sun, snorkeling, and playing poker. Everyone seems to like and understand that answer. Then I say that I am writing a brief history of the Faculty …
