CoNTTF Meeting Minutes: Contract Language, Equity Events, And Action Items.pdf

The Non-Tenure-Track Faculty (CoNTTF) committee met on November 1, 2022, to discuss various issues affecting their members. Key points included:

- Minutes Approval: The October 18, 2022 meeting minutes were approved.
- New Member Introduction: Ryan Brooks, a CAS representative, joined the committee.
- Campus Equity Week Recap: The event was successful, with good attendance and discussion on contract vs. continuing appointments. Pinar created a flyer summarizing these differences. Suggestions for future events included closer collaboration with the CLA NTTF.
- Contract Language Concerns: Despite previous letters to administrators, problematic language persists in contracts. The House Bill specifies minimum requirements, while CSU adds clauses about sufficient funds and job performance that should be removed. Contacting United Campus Workers and other Colorado institutions may lead to legislative changes, omitting the "at a minimum" phrase.
- Data Requests: The committee discussed various data points sought by members, including average pay for 2/3 credit graduate courses (unanswerable at this time), percentage of AUCC courses taught by NTTF (89% are taught by them), and base pay adjustments. Two options for raising base pay were presented, differing by approximately $100k in long-term vs. short-term implications.
- Work Equity Task Force: Tom Conway discussed the task force's efforts to define and promote work equity through transparency, clarity, and accountability, aiming to introduce these concepts to executive committees.
- Website Revamp: The committee acknowledged the need for a website overhaul, assigning members to review and organize its content.
