This is a complicated issue with no easy one-size-fits-all solution. We are looking for a variety of examples of win-win arrangements where the leadership of departments and colleges and tenured faculty have taken it upon themselves to improve the work conditions of non-tenure track and part-time faculty by providing alternative career paths, professional development opportunities, and avenues for them to have a voice.</font></div>
<div><font face="arial, sans-serif">Would you please help us find examples of such positive initiatives and thereby contribute to making them less of the exception and more of the norm. We would appreciate your help by sending an email with the following information to Maggie Nassif at <a href="mailto:mnnassif@byu.edu" target="_blank">mnnassif@byu.edu</a>. </font></div>
