Your PATFA Contract: Workload and Responsibilities
Here’s a news bulletin, fellow adjunct: You’re supposed to work only part time under the Part-time Faculty Association contract with the University of Maine System. In this post explaining the 2017-19 contract, you will also find language that shows how that sometimes gets stretched. And you will find language that you cannot be forced into accepting more than one course section per semester if that is your choice.
This post covers workload, assignment of responsibilities, excused absence, use of your car, and a list of related rights that can make your work smoother.
