Today’s the much-anticipated launch of the NEW FACULTY MAJORITY: A NATIONAL COALITION FOR ADJUNCT AND CONTINGENT EQUITY’s web site. See it at www.newfacultymajority.info/national and see articles on its two energetic vice presidents in today’s edition of the two primary higher-education trade journals in the country, the CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION and INSIDE HIGHER ED, at these links:

Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWe need a national voice in what is becoming the "new face" of American Higher Education or post secondary education.
We have linked a news feed between the New Faculty Majority and our LinkedIn group, The Adjunct Network.
For those who are members of LinkedIn, I want to extend an invitation to you to also sign up for The Adjunct Network group at
http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=1906855&trk=anet_ug_hm
We invite you to share your experiences,expertise, concerns and questions with that network as well.
Again Congratulations!
Thanks for the kind words and invitation. I'm already on LinkedIn (even if not sure why) so joined the Adjunct Network there. IMO the more networks the better. As far as keeping it up ~ we intend to. I dropped off on posting here for a while but promise to post more often and draft more fellow board members into contributing.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot going on in the Adjunctverse: CEW, legislation, UC Walkout, Unemployment Insurance issues, and more. Let me know what you're interested in reading more about ~ or about contingent related legislation or issues we haven't reported.
Btw ~ you can also follow us @NewFacMajority
