In the last few weeks, we heard from several faculty after meetings at the campuses related to department structures resulted in misinformation. In these campus meetings, at least 2 deans reported every campus needed to have six departments and six department chairs. That is incorrect.
Across our states, many of us are essential workers who serve our communities, educate our children, and so many other services essential to making our communities safe and healthy. These are essential public services every community needs. Our work makes our cities run and our taxes fund our communities. So why do our schools and child care system continue to be underfunded?
The 4Cs will be partnering with Yale Professor Daniel Martinez-HoSang and Alliance for a Just Society to expand on our summer organizing intern program.

Our union has formed a Part-Timers Steering Committee to win big improvements for part-time workers in our community colleges this legislative session and in our upcoming contract campaign!

Our union in partnership with AFT and CSU-AAUP is distributing an **Adjunct Survey** to help us better understand the challenges adjunct members face in our CSCU system and across CT. This survey will provide us necessary information to improve our contract and guide our union in improving working conditions for our adjunct members. The survey will also help inform a policy report to support legislative efforts to enhance equity for adjunct faculty across our state.
