Ongoing Special Committees
In Spring 2000, the main issues considered by the Drew chapter of AAUP
were compensation and merit.
(See the Annual
Letter from the Co-chairs for a summery of the 1999-2000 year.)
These issues continue to be of concern to faculty at Drew, and therefore
to Drew's AAUP as well
In the 1999-2000 year members agreed to establish two working committees to explore issues of concern to AAUP members locally and nationally. These committees are:
- Working Committee on Adjunct and Part Time Faculty Issues
- Working Committee on Technology Issues.
To volunteer for either of these committees, or to propose other issues for working committees contact the co-chairs, or raise the issue on the floor of the next meeting.
State issues this year mostly concerned proposed State laws, discussed by the New Jersey State Conference Committee "R" on Government Relations.
AAUP National has produced a report on each of these issues, and the working committees are charged with exploring the impact of these issues on Drew faculty in all three schools and the library.
- Adjunct and Part Time Faculty Issues:
- Part-Time and Non-Tenure-Track Faculty
- Report on The Status of Non-Tenure-Track Faculty (1995)

- Improving Teaching: Tenure Is Not the Problem, It's the Solution
- Statement from the Conference on the Growing Use of Part-Time and Adjunct Faculty (1997)
- AAUP Part-time Faculty Survey(and an article on the survey)

- To read more about national issues, see the AAUP "Hot Column."
To suggest new issues for Drew AAUP members to consider, contact the co-chairs, or raise the issue on the floor of the next meeting.
From time to time the Drew chapter of AAUP passes resolutions on issues brought to it by the members, the executive committee, or the co-chairs. Any such resolutions or statements will be added to this website.
