CEW
PLANS
Sinclair
Community College
- Dayton, Ohio
The Sinclair Community College chapter of AAUP will be distributing
buttons and literature early in the week. On Thursday afternoon,
we will hold a public showing of the "Degrees of Shame"
video, followed by a panel discussion on part-time and contingent
faculty issues in Ohio and at Sinclair.

Information about CEW events is available under the NEWS area.
Think of us as you watch "Degrees of Shame." Rhine McLin
(who appears in the video) is the State Senator for our district.
Our college (with a record 22,000+ students this fall) is
moving gradually towards a vote on whether the Faculty Senate actually
represents "all full-time faculty" (as its constitution
states) or only "all tenure-track faculty" (as has been
the recent practice). Full-time, non-tenure-track faculty now make
up 30% of our full-time faculty compared with about 10% for public
community colleges nationally. The ratio seems likely to grow as
enrollment increases and Ohio cuts funding. We're hoping Campus
Equity Week will help in preparing faculty for the vote and for
further progress.
