In keeping with the constitutional charge of this committee, the Contingent Employment Committee will work to create more equitable terms and conditions of employment for contingent members.

Strategic Plan 

The strategic plan for 2017-2018 is to:

  • Gather data to understand the work and conditions of contingent employees; and
  • Achieve a stronger messaging presence using the Contingent Academic Employment Communications guide with various audiences internal and external to UUP.

Campus Equity Week: Calling all artists

Calling all Campus Equity artists

To the artists among us, Campus Equity Week (CEW) will be your time to shine. No artistic impulses? Get involved anyway—your chapter will appreciate your help. This year, CEW is focused on mAsk4CampusEquity, which will use art—masks created by contingent employees—to “disguise and declare the complex identities of precarious academic workers,” according to the official CEW website. http://www.campusequity2017.com

CEW promotes the contributions of SUNY’s contingents. UUP’s CEW observance will run Oct. 23-27, and many chapters will also observe a national day of action Oct. 31.
