Adjunct faculty teach 60% to 80% of all the courses in the community colleges. Most of these hard-working, dedicated teachers qualify for taxpayer-subsidized housing, food stamps, food-bank use, utility bill assistance and deeply discounted health-care coverage. We need to address the psychological violence imposed by this bullying workplace culture. We are losing great teachers in the Colorado Community College System, even while it has more than $250 million in reserves and takes in $20 million more per year more than it spends.

Adjuncts use microscope to see recent pay raiseCCCS adjunct faculty who attended the AAUP Colorado Conference Annual Meeting on Dec. 5 used a microscope to look for the 3% pay increase the State Board of Community Colleges and Occupational Education recently approved. The 4,600 adjuncts are 75% of the CCCS faculty and are paid poverty-level wages. The increase raises their wage an average of $4.80/week -- enough for each of them to buy a few gallons of gas. Meanwhile, the board gave its 1,230 full-time faculty a 20% increase, raising their pay an average of $188/week, enough for each of them to buy a new car.
