Contract Proposal, New Article
Curriculum Participation Rights
With this proposal, the committee presses the university to provide part-time faculty with adequate input into their program/departments curriculum by:
Establishing a curriculum coordinator position or positions in each program/department.
Allowing part-time faculty to nominate and vote on their program/department’s curriculum coordinator(s).
Ensuring curriculum coordinators have the opportunity to work alongside full-time faculty and administrative staff to help develop their program/departments curriculum.
Ensuring that every department/program has at least one, paid meeting for part-time faculty each semester devoted to discussing curriculum.
