MLA Participates in Campus Equity Week

As part of Campus Equity Week (26–30 October), the MLA, led by members of the Committee on Contingent Labor in the Profession (CCLIP), called on department chairs and deans to improve job security for non-tenure-track faculty members on their campuses. The CCLIP wrote to 5,700 administrators to make the case for multiyear contracts for all non-tenure-track faculty appointments and asked them to report on the situation at their institutions. The committee also launched a new MLA Commons site with resources for Campus Equity Week, including ways to participate, an interview with Executive Director Rosemary G. Feal about the MLA’s efforts, and a bibliography of books about contingent faculty members.
