The Ithaca College Administration and Board of Trustees
Currently, contingent faculty members at Ithaca College are not paid a living wage. Though the average professor of this kind has been at the school for 7 years, many are employed on a semester&dashto&dashsemester basis. They don't find out until the last minute whether or not they'll be employed in a given semester. Though these people dedicate years of their life to this institution, they are not given a voice in governance of the college.
The contingent faculty of Ithaca College deserve fair compensation, job stability, and respect from the school. Treating contingent faculty unfairly is not only harmful to them, but also to their students. We call on the Ithaca College Board of Trustees to do the right thing, and substantively address these issues in contract negotiations.
