Campus Equity Week — October
28 -November 3
Campus Equity Week is a week of coordinated actions in the U.S.
and Canada focused on the issues of part-time and contract (meaning
all contingent and non tenure track) faculty. Campus Equity
Week is designed to educate, stimulate local organizing and
raise the issue nationally and locally in media and policy circles.
Much of what actually takes place will be up to the local area.
On most campuses administrations can be targeted, in a few places
legislatures, but our colleagues and students are the primary
audience. A packet of materials will be produced by a steering
committee and distributed by a network of regional coordinators.
Equity Week was formally launched at the COCAL IV (Coalition
of Contingent Academic Labor) conference in San Jose during
January 2001, which brought together people from 15 US states
and 3 Canadian provinces. A provisional steering committee is
in formation and funding is being sought. At present the steering
committee has both individual faculty and members representing
locals of the NEA, AFT, AAUP, CAUT, CPFA, and CWA.
Equity Week has been endorsed by the following organizations.
California Part-Time Faculty Association (CPFA) National Alliance
for Fair Employment (NAFFE) University of California Council
of the AFT Coalition of Contingent Academic Labor (COCAL) AAUP
National Committee on Part-Time and Non-Tenure-Track Appointments.

Please note that I discovered a virus (WM.Cap.A) on my computer
(an iMAC) on 2/5/01. I do not know how long it had been present.
I have dealt with it so this message is clean. However, please
use the most up to date Norton anti-virus or similar product
on any messages, files or discs you may have received from me
in the past. Sorry about this. It was an unpleasant surprise
for me too. Macs now can have viruses too, unlike in the past
when they were asumed to be clean.
