PSC Adjunct Report (V. 1, N. 2)
This 1974 Professional Staff Congress (PSC) Committee for Part-Time Personnel Newsletter included articles on adjunct faculty being threatened at Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC), maximum workload quotas, the election of convention delegates, an increased national interest in "part-timers." and notes on a meeting with CUNY Vice-Chancellor David Newton.
Of particular interest, the article entitled "Adjunct Faculty Threatened at BMCC" covered the protest in response to the proposed massive layoff of adjuncts. The purpose of the picket line was to inform students, faculty and the community about the cutbacks and resulted in a follow-up meeting with BMCC President Edgar Draper who agreed to fund courses in order to meet registration needs. In preparation for the next contract, the Committee on Part-time Personnel requested data to clarify the inequities to the CUNY Board of Higher Education.
