Save the Date! Friday, Feb 15th, 3pm
Activation Meeting on CUNY issues
Graduate Center, 8th floor Dining Commons

Calling all concerned and curious members of the CUNY Graduate Center community!
The Adjunct Project will host a public meeting about ongoing and upcoming issues facing the CUNY community.
We will gather with the concrete goal to build an action plan to address questions such as:

ONE: What are the Graduate Center’s admissions and funding
plans for us and future students? How can we respond to these
restructuring plans?

TWO: What is the “Kroll Report” on the November 21, 2011
protests at Baruch College, how does it endanger our ability to
assemble and dissent at CUNY, and how can we collaborate on
a Counter-Report?

THREE: What is the Free University of NYC and what are
their plans for liberating education from restrictive and
corporate institutional models? How can we get involved with
this work and help write an Alternative Budget for free
education in New York City?

FOUR: How does our union—the Professional Staff Congress
(PSC)—address adjunct issues in their contract agenda and
ongoing campaigns?

FIVE: What are the most pressing academic labor issues that
adjuncts, teaching fellows, and other contingent student
workers at CUNY face? How can we devise an action plan to
challenge these conditions and strategize for the next 2 years?
This meeting will be a way to plug into these ongoing
efforts. It is also a venue in which your voice can be
heard and your ideas can shape these ongoing
campaigns. To propose agenda items please write to:
