[Linganth] Colleagues, follow up to the last AAA resolution on contingent faculty?

[Steven Black]

Sorry for the multiple messages.

Just to clarify, the AAA was very supportive of work on this topic, but did not adopt the recommendations put forth in the document prepared by the CLR, Netta, and I, which I described in my previous email.

Best,
Steve Black

Hi All,

I hope everyone's week is ending on a great note. I remember in the past few years the AAA has pushed the adoption of a resolution on contingent faculty issues, particularly at the 2013 meetings. Does anyone know if this conversation continued at the 2015 AAAs, including in the level of sections? I'm mainly asking in my capacity as a new board member for the New Faculty Majority Foundation, which is looking into the idea of having institutional supporters. (We've been approached by several disciplinary associations about this possibility.) 

As such, I'm curious as to if this issue has remained on the explicit agenda of the AAA like it has, say, for the MLA. I'm also curious about if this has come up in the SLA in regards to its recent rethinking of mentoring (based on the April 2014 survey Paul Kroskrity sent out) and how mentoring at the disciplinary association level, in light of the rising levels of adjunct faculty, may need to be different. (I was not able to attend the AAAs last year so I apologize if this may be redundant.)

Best,
Nate
