| T0: PART-TIME FACULTY MEMBERS OF THE PSC

FROM: COMMITTEE FOR PART-TIME PERSONNEL
SUSAN PRAGER, CHAIRPERSON

e

Any adjunct who is interested in joining the committee on Part-time
Personnel is invited to do so. Please contact me at the union office.
The committee serves in an advisory capacity to the union leadership
and helps them plan union activities relating to adjuncts.

According to the deferral agreement which is part of the contract
recently signed by the union, no adjunct or graduate fellow's pay
should be deferred. Should a mistake have been made, contact your
college payroll office and, if you need further help, contact me.
The BHE has renewed its retrenchment guidelines. They are as
follows:

Adjunct Staff

a. Employees with initial appointments who have not yet started to
work.

b. Employees scheduled to teach class sections which have been with-
drawn, for which full-time employees have been rescheduled, for
which there is insufficient registration or for which the
determination has been made that the course is not necessary
for the fulfillment of any undergraduate degree program.

c. Employees who additionally have full-time employment outside the
University in the inverse order of length of service.

d. Employees who additionally have full-time employment within the
University in the inverse order of length of service.

e. Other employees who are not CUNY doctoral candidates in the
inverse order of-length of service.

f. Employees who are CUNY doctoral candidates in good standing and
receiving no other financial support in inverse order of length
of service.

The foregoing notwithstanding, adjunct employees teaching courses
deemed by the department to be educationally essential so as to merit
continuance may se retained over full-tiic personnel or other aGjuncts
with greater length of service.

Violations of these guidelines are grievable. If you have been
improperly retrenched for next fall notify both the grievance
counselor at your school and me.

A grievant has 30 days excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal
holidays and the two week closing. Similarly, if you are
improperly retrenched any time in the coming year notify both
your grievance counselor and me.

You should also be aware that retrenched adjuncts are eligible for
preferential rehiring for a three year period, and that adjuncts
who are retrenched are eligible to use the services of the Univer-
sity's Instructional Staff Referral Service. Send your resume

to that office at 535 East 80th Street, New York, New York 10021.
The union will also try to place retrenched personnel - resumes
should be sent to the union office, att: Mr. Daniel Kaminker.

Adjuncts who are not teaching this summer are eligible for
unemployment even if they have the promise of a job for next fall.
Do not hesitate to contact me, through the union office, if you
have questions regarding your status as an adjunct.
