Dear Colleagues,
Time is running out for you to sign up for the Contract Negotiations Listening Tour. There certainly are issues to discuss at this meeting including Contingent Faculty Member Contracts; Academic Freedom; salary equity; DEI protections; intellectual property; AI in Higher Education; future federal/NYS/SUNY funding; Professional employee path to promotion; Telecommuting; health care premiums and deductibles; attacks on science and research; accreditation…….and the list goes on an on. Your voice does make a difference and here’s an opportunity to share your thoughts with the negotiations committee. Having received recent communications and concerns from our members, I can tell you that hearing all of our collective voices goes further than just a few of our members conveying your concerns. Have a voice—take action. Sign up for the Listening Tour! Finally, take a few moments to complete the Negotiations survey while your mind is on contract negotiations.
In solidarity,
Kat Kielar
