Unity is our best defense and we will not stand for coercion. That was the message last week when dozens of faculty from English departments at CUNY community colleges met to discuss a collective response to the threats of reprisal they have received as they vote on Composition courses for Pathways. At the meeting, union leaders reiterated the PSC’s commitment to defend members from retaliation and outlined the contractual and legal basis for the faculty’s right to exercise their academic judgment by voting on curriculum matters. They also shared a resolution condemning the threats, which was passed recently by the Delegate Assembly.
