SATURDAY AGENDA
8:30-9:00 Breakfast
9:00-10:00 Completion of Conference Business
10:00-12:00 Open Forum - Topics:
- Contingent Faculty Issues
- Global Governance: Governance in the global campus has received scant attention in the AAUP, remarkably so. Recent turmoil in the Middle East, where many global campuses are located, brings this to the fore. I suggest discussing AAUP governance issues with respect to AAUP faculty and contingent faculty abroad.
- What are the implications for the rest of us and the AAUP in general of the collective bargaining challenge at public institutions in Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan?
- Faculty Governance
