Wayne State's part-time faculty union has been able to bargain for several improvements, but waiting in the wings are these larger transformations that the forces of Hedge Fund U seem to want. If you're not already aware of it, there's an Adjuncts United march (anyone who cares about the future and quality of higher ed are invited to join us) planned as part of the opening march for the U.S. Social Forum on June 22 in Detroit. See www.uptf.org for flyers, more info. Social Forum (great event!) info: www.ussf2010.org. For more news, see http://www.theadjunctvoice.blogspot.com.

No patients are made well in Morrill Hall.<br /><br /> Help, or get out of the way!<br /><br /> Without authority invested where the real work of this University is done, the light of excellence will only grow dimmer.<br /><br /> University administrators have not yet cornered the market in acumen and foresight; a monologue will not suffice.Mr. B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02067666077743889680noreply@blogger.com
