…the Adjunct Faculty Association of the United Steelworkers and the Battle of Homestead Foundation invite you to... A Community Conversation on The Affordable Care Act and Adjunct Faculty…March 6, 2013, 6:00-7:45pm at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Squirrel Hill, Room B
This Community Conversation is Open to the Public
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA),
also known as “Obamacare,” goes into effect on January 1, 2014, with the goal
of expanding healthcare coverage to all Americans. But Pittsburgh’s colleges and universities
are already setting up barriers to prevent their adjunct faculty from taking
advantage of its provisions. The
Community College of Allegheny County has decreased the number of courses an
adjunct faculty member can teach per semester, making it even more difficult
for the majority of CCAC’s teachers to earn a living.
