CUNY DIGITAL HISTORY ARCHIVE

The Association of Part-Time faculty (APTF) sent out this correspondence to full -and part-time faculty asking them to send letters to CUNY Chancellor Joseph Murphy who had called the adjunct employment situation “catastrophic” but, according to the APTF, failed to return phone calls and had yet to take any action. The letter stressed that the use of “adjuncts as migrant workers,” exploits adjuncts, full-time faculty, and, students alike and urged the University Faculty Senate to get involved.
