Letter from the "Adjunct and Part-time Faculty Caucus"

Posted on the walls of John Jay College in 1973, this letter from the Executive Committee of the "Adjunct and Part-time Faculty Caucus" called for broader support from the CUNY community for the dignity and rights of adjunct faculty. In addition to highlighting pay and fringe benefit disparities, it discussed the fact that adjuncts had been pressing the union to work more vigorously for their interests, which included pro-rata pay, health coverage, and increased job security.

The "Adjunct and Part-time Faculty Caucus" was a group formed in 1973. Chaired by David Allen, the group published and circulated challenges to the contract the PSC had negotiated, which it alleged had failed to advocate sufficiently for the rights of adjunct faculty.
