From:  David P. Christy, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs

Dear adjunct faculty:

The recent Memorandum of Agreement between the PSC and CUNY specifies a process for long-term adjuncts who meet specific eligibility criteria and formally declare their interest to be awarded a two-year contract for 2016-17 and 2017-18.  This memo reviews the procedures for eligible adjunct faculty to formally declare their interest in the two-year contract.  At the end of this memo, I also review the criteria for eligibility.

Adjunct faculty who wish to be awarded a two-year contract must complete and sign a “Notice of Interest by Teaching Adjuncts for a Two-Year Appointment, 2016-17 and 2017-18.”  This form has been distributed to department chairs for further dissemination, but it can also be downloaded from http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/provost/resources.htm .  Scroll down to the “Academic Administration” section under the rubric “Adjunct Faculty.”  That completed and signed form must be submitted by close of business (5PM) on October 17, 2016, to both your department chair, or designee, and to the designees listed below for the appropriate school or unit dean’s office.  Please disregard instructions on the form itself indicating that it should be submitted to the Office of Human Resources (OHR).  OHR at Baruch will not receive those forms. The completed and signed form may be hand-delivered in hard copy to the appropriate dean’s office designee or a scan may be emailed to the appropriate email address listed below.

 

Adjunct Zicklin faculty must submit the form to their department chair and to:

Zicklinadjunct@baruch.cuny.edu  or  Dularie Ramkishun, 646-312-3044, NVC 13-260

 

Adjunct Weissman faculty must submit the form to their department chair and to:

WSAS.AssocDean@baruch.cuny.edu  or  Keisha McLeod, 646-312-3890, NVC 8-265

 

Adjunct SPIA faculty must submit the form to Associate Dean Jerry Mitchell and to:

spa.academics@baruch.cuny.edu  or  Della Saju, 646-312-6840, D-901

 

Adjunct faculty in the Library must submit the form to the Dean of the Library and to:

Annette.Ruiz@baruch.cuny.edu  or  Annette Ruiz, 646-312-1655, H-0520

 

The notice of interest forms will be reviewed internally, and those interested adjunct faculty will be notified about conferral of the two-year contract by February 1, 2017.

Eligibility.

Allow me to review with you the terms of eligibility for the two-year contract.

• Adjunct faculty must be eligible for a two-semester appointment during fall 2016 and spring 2017 by virtue of having taught in the same department for the last six semesters (excluding summer sessions) preceding fall 2016.

AND

• Of those six semesters preceding fall 2016, adjunct faculty must have taught at least six classroom contact hours in the same department in fall 2014, spring 2015, fall 2015, and spring 2016, and they must have taught one or more courses in fall 2013 and spring 2014.

AND

• Adjunct faculty must have taught at least six contact hours in the same department in at least ten of the last fourteen semesters.  Up to four semesters of substitute service in the same department may count toward that requirement.

 

Sincerely,

David P. Christy

Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
