• Contract negotiations will be starting soon in spring 2017. We should all inform Dr. Crawford of issues about which we are concerned.

• The Labor-Management Committee/CUNY is seeking workload reduction which may result in a demand for increased fulltime faculty.

• Provisions that are now in the agreement take effect at the beginning of fall semester, 2016.

• HEOs can nominate themselves for higher-level classification. PSC will work with HEOs to strategize in this area, and will also seek solutions for CLT promotions.

• Adjuncts who teach 6 credits for 10 straight semesters must be considered for 3-year appointment; 2-year appointments for adjuncts teaching 6 credits in last 4 semesters; adjuncts not offered the long-term appointment letter and those who refuse it, will have to be dismissed.

• Application date for early retirement will be November 15, 2016 for retirement to start next September. Check PSC website re CUNY retirement.

Other Business:
