Higher Education Faculty Leaders Denounce Plan to Replace Career Professors with Part-timers.
This joint May 28, 1982 statement, signed by Nuala Drescher, Lou Stollap, and Irwin Polishook, three NYS faculty union presidents, expressed shock and denounced a proposal put forward by NYS Education Commissioner Gordon Amach, which would have allowed universities, colleges, and departments to hire more than 50 percent part-time faculty. Calling the proposal embarrassing, it claimed that it was "educationally unsound to suggest that the largest part of a faculty should be composed of members whose primary occupation may be off-campus."
