Board of Trustees
Brooklyn Borough Hearing & Pre-Hearing SpeakOut
3:30 Demonstration | 4:30 Hearing
PSC members are mobilizing to testify about management’s attack on adjunct job security and their proposed amendments to the CUNY Bylaws at the Brooklyn Borough Hearing of the CUNY Board of Trustees on Monday, April 1.
- The bosses want to more than double the time it takes for teaching adjuncts to qualify for any job security (to 12 years!), reduce the appointments from three years to two, and diminish the protection offered within those two years.
- The draft amendments to the CUNY Bylaws shared with governance bodies in early March would further corporatize administration of the colleges, diminish the role of the faculty, especially department chairs, and expand the role of upper administration.
- Read about the union’s response here in the latest edition of Clarion

- Draft: Inclusion of the Role of the Senior and Comprehensive Colleges’ Academic (School) Dean in the CUNY Bylaws and the University’s Manual of General Policy
- Draft: Differentiation of the President’s Role from the Provost’s
- Draft: Inclusion of the Role of the Provost in the University’s Bylaws and Update of the Role of the President to Recognize the Provost’s Role in the Manual of General Policy
