UUP 2014 Winter Delegate Assembly

The Annual UUP Winter Delegate Assembly was held February 2-3, 2014 at the Hilton in Albany.

Fredonia Chapter Winter Membership Meeting and Party

Our Chapter Membership Meeting and Winter Party was held on Saturday, February 8, 2014 at the Days Inn in Fredonia. Over 65 people attended the fun filled event. This year’s party featured live music with Tom Gestwicki’s jazz band. A delicious meal was prepared by 3C’s Catering from Falconer, NY.

NYSUT Higher Education Action Day

NYSUT Higher Education Action Day was held in Albany on February 25 – 26, 2014. From Fredonia, Ziya Arnavut, Derrik Decker and Tom Morrissey attended this event.

NYSUT Higher Education Action Day in Albany

On February 25-26, 2014 Derrik Decker, Ziya Arnavut and Tom Morrissey answered the call for UUP members to come to Albany to advocate for SUNY in the budget being worked on by the legislature. We met with the top aide for Senator Cathy Young, the legal aide for Senator Michael Ranzenhofer, with Assemblyman Andrew Goodell and dropped off literature at the office of Assemblyman Joseph Giglio. For two of these visits we were joined by a colleague from Brockport. The case we made with these people on behalf of SUNY started with the effect of a flat budget for several years along with a steep rise in cost. We used the example of energy costs (heat & electricity) on our campus which exceeded our budget by some $64K as of December when the winter was just beginning. We asked them to extrapolate what would be the deficit for the rest of the year and that this could be multiplied many times over when applied to the whole SUNY system. The fact that SUNY & CUNY have suffered two billion dollars in cuts over the recent past was now coming home to roost with cuts in staff as one result. This led into the next topic: the decline in full time faculty and staff as it turned to part time and adjuncts to make up for the missing full time positions. We asked them to redress these needs with a commitment to public higher education (SUNY, CUNY, the community colleges) and not to follow the model of the airline industry with its reduced service going along with more reliance on fees paid by the customers (our students and their families). We appealed for action on behalf of Downstate medical center - the largest employer in Brooklyn which serves a wide part of the community, meeting their medical needs while providing experience and training for the doctors of tomorrow for our state and the Big Apple. We are from an area where we are well aware (as our legislators are) of what cutbacks in the availability of medical care facilities means for the people here. We noted that once again the governor has put in a cut in TAP while expecting the legislature to restore these cuts (also in EOP and EAP) which would require them to make cuts elsewhere to balance the budget. A full discussion developed with Assemblyman Goodell as he explained his problems with the “Dream Act" and why he opposed it because it was not carefully crafted and so opened the door to non-New York residents to share the money in this program. We explained our concern about the consequences of the campus retirement incentive since this might mean an increase in the workload of the members of an area/department who would have to take on the tasks now done by the departing colleagues who

would likely not be replaced for some months at best. We had similar question about the OPEN SUNY proposal which appeared to be defective in its lack of detail, controls and a commitment to quality and academic standards as well as access. We also pressed for the Foundations connected with SUNY (e.g., the Research Foundation) to be made subject to the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) since so much of their funding is state tax dollars and thus they should be answerable to the legislature and the general public rather than their current stance that they do not have to answer to anyone about how they disperse their funds. We supported the NYSUT slogan- Back to a New York State of Mind - that there should be commitment to the future generation being able to get quality, accessibility and affordability at public higher ed in New York We showed the reversal that has occurred over the past decade during which the ratio went from 75% state funding and 25% student tuition/fees to the current 25%

state funding and 75% student tuition/fees. The issues of OPEN SUNY and edTPA were also brought up in our sessions. The former appears to dictate a cookie-cutter approach to curriculum at every campus across the state with no concern for the impact on staffing or costs. The latter (edTPA) is a new mandate for students graduating in May 2014 (two months away). It requires a performance assessment with multiple components. It is expensive - it will

cost each student $300. It is administered by a for profit company; it has not been field tested so we have no idea of its reliability or validity. NYSUT and UUP are asking for a delay of several years during which the test can be tested and evaluated while the students and education faculty will have time to prepare for this new requirement. All in all we argued for and appealed for redress from the problems and crises SUNY and in particular Fredonia are now battling. How much change and/or how successful our trip and effort were we cannot say, but we can point out that the Fredonia contingent made up the largest block ( close to 20%) in the UUP group that trooped through the LOB on this occasion. The struggle is far from over but the time is short as the budget is expected to be in place on April 1st. We would urge you to contact the members of the legislature who represent you and ask for their support to deal fairly with SUNY and in particular provide help for Fredonia. If you would like to visit these people in Albany or at their home office, call, fax or email them, please visit the UUP website at uupinfo.org ~ Tom Morrissey

Labor- Management Meeting Notes December 4, 2013, 10:30 am-12:00 pm

Compiled by Bruce Simon

Present: Ziya Arnavut, Terry Brown, Michael Daley, Stephen Kershnar, Bruce Simon, Tara Singer-Blumberg, Idalia Torres, Jefferson Westwood, Junaid Zubairi. Absent: Virginia Horvath [injury] 1. October 7, 2013 LM Minutes: Approved pending small clarifications and corrections in #5, #6, #11b. Issues around searches and procedures for policy revisions explored informally. 2. HARP Procedure Clarification: What happens if someone does not attend a deliberation? Since the goal is to encourage deliberation, meetings should be scheduled to allow for maximum participation, but if someone can’t attend, they are not eligible to vote, unless departments create and approve their own modification to this “default” understanding. 3. Buildings/UUP Office: We discussed possible locations in Jewett, Houghton, and Fenton for a relocated UUP office in light of construction, renovation, and other office moves. Director Daley will develop a timeline for decision-making. 4. Contingent Employee Issues: a. Floor/Titles: Where is management’s evaluation/decision-making process regarding UUP EB proposals at? Provost Brown explained that she is committed to making the university-wide floor/minimum wage for part-time faculty concept work and continues to research current and optimum costs of instruction, possible funding models, and effects of any changes on compensation and ranks on the current Fredonia budget deficit. This research involves tracking enrollment and retention data, class sizes, course offerings, staffing of courses, and the number of adjuncts on campus, as well as tenure-stream and contingent faculty teaching loads, release time, average numbers of students taught by different ranks, and possible compensation rates that are competitive,

appropriate to the work being done, and able to reward quality work. It also involves comparing us to national and SUNY data (by institution and program), examining proposed guidelines on class sizes and student credit hours per faculty member from various organizations, and the Delaware Study on cost of instruction. As a result, she can’t imagine bringing a coherent, comprehensive proposal to Cabinet this academic year. She has already integrated tenure-stream and contingent costs by department into a single spreadsheet for each department. She envisions a new funding model aligned with a new compensation model and with a new titling model, synchronized with HARP revisions. Not in 6 months, but she’s willing to make tough choices. Brief discussion of external funding sources and advocacy strategies ensued, to be followed up offline. b. Data Request: How far back can we track our use of contingent academic and professional labor (i.e., all faculty not eligible for continuing appointment and professionals not eligible for permanent appointment). Is it possible to break the data down by appointment type (full-time contingent, part-time contingent) and by semester? Director Daley informed the group that the migration of systems lost us some data, but Diane Howard is trying to merge two databases to track title, salary, appointment status, and changes of status, working backward from recent semesters. LRS Singer-Blumberg will ask UUP to study the issue, too. Part of the problem is that SUNY System Admin shares data with UUP and with SUNY campuses on different schedules.

Overuse and Abuse of Adjunct Faculty Members Threaten Core

Academic Values by Richard Moser, AAUP, Retired

The increasing exploitation of contingent faculty members is one dimension of an employment strategy sometimes called the “two-tiered” or “multi-tiered” labor system. This new labor system is firmly established in higher education and constitutes a threat to the teaching profession. If left unchecked, it will undermine the university's status as an institution of higher learning be-cause the overuse of adjuncts and their lowly status and compensation institutionalize disincentives to quality education, threaten academic freedom and shared governance, and disqualify the campus as an exemplar of democratic values. These developments in academic labor are the most troubling expressions of the so-called corporatization of higher education “Corporatization” is the name sometimes given to what has happened to higher education over the last 30 years. Corporatization is the reorganization of our great national resources, including higher education, in accordance with a shortsighted business model. Three decades of decline in public funding for higher education opened the door for increasing corporate influence, and since then the work of the university has been redirected to suit the corporate vision. The most striking symptoms of corporatization shift costs and risks downward and direct capital and authority upward. Rising tuition and debt loads for students limit access to education for working-class students. The faculty and many other campus workers suffer lower compensation as the number of managers, and their pay, rises sharply. Campus management concentrates resources on areas where wealth is created, and new ideas and technologies developed at public cost become the entitlement of the corporate sector. The privatization and outsourcing of university functions and jobs from food service to bookstores to instruction enrich a few businessmen and create more low-wage nonunion jobs. Increasingly authoritarian governance practices have become the “new nor-mal.” The liberal arts and all areas of research not conducive to the creation of wealth are faced with austerity. It seems that the universities' internal budgets remain in perpetual crisis as funding declines and more demanding accounting devices are established, thereby making each department, pro-gram, or school reliant on its own self-generated resources. This new financial “rigor” in instruction and research has tended to starve the core liberal-arts mission while promoting entertainment venues and real-estate development. The search for truth, critical thinking, intellectual creativity, academic standards, scientific invention, and the ideals of citizenship have been discounted in favor of maximizing profits, vocational training, career success, applied research, and bottom-line considerations.

Three types of related issues—instructional, curricular, and professional—emerge from the growth of the contingent faculty in the context of corporatization. Adjuncts and graduate students often deliver excellent instruction, but that is in spite of their working conditions. Most contingent faculty members and graduate assistants are so poorly compensated and teach so many students that they face powerful disincentives to quality instruction. To professionally evaluate and mentor adjuncts and graduate students would take an enormous re-source commitment from full-time professors, which would work against the fiscal imperatives responsible for the use of adjuncts in the first place. Instead, contingent faculty members are often forced to rely solely on students to evaluate their work. It is reasonable to expect that such a system of evaluation makes teachers vulnerable to student pressure for better grades, reluctant to teach controversial subjects, or engage in stressful disputes over plagiarism and cheating. Furthermore, when the job of teaching is separated from the job of establishing the curriculum and developing programs, faculty members become mere delivery systems of standardized content. People hired for the short term have no incentive to understand or question the long-term educational goals of the college. Similar disincentives exist for contingent faculty members to develop long-term relationships with students. As a result, fewer faculty members will know students well, and advising will suffer. As a multidiscipli-nary conference on part-time work concluded, the nature of “the terms and conditions of these appointments, in many cases, weakens our capacity to provide essential educational experiences and resources” and therefore is “inadequate to support responsible teaching or, by extension, a career.” Finally, and most important, the new academic labor system has fragmented the faculty, weakening its ability to act as a constituency. Tenure has lost support from both junior faculty members and those on the low-er tiers, rendering the profession less able to defend its central institution. Without due process and full access to governance, the professoriate loses its ability to govern in the conventional manner; hence the turn to unionization as an additional means of advancing professional standards and values. The political aspect is decisive. The multi-tier personnel system has produced classic “divide and conquer” effects that can be addressed by demanding more tenured positions and increasing the compensation and due-process rights of the contingent faculty. Drawing the tiers closer together in status and standing would serve the long-term interest of the teaching profession. It is no

Sick Leave Bank for our UUP Members

There are 20 1/2 days in the Sick Leave Bank. The following information was sent by Mike Daley about the Sick Leave Bank: The intent of this program is to provide a means to assist employees who, because of long-term personal illness, have exhausted their leave benefits and would otherwise be subject to a severe loss of income during a continuing absence from work. If you meet the eligibility criteria to donate, you may complete the leave donation form. The leave donation program is available to employees in the following participating bargaining units: CSEA, UUP, PEF, PBANYS, NYSCOPBA, and employees designated as M/C. Employees in these units may donate to eligible employees in other participating units, as well as to employees in the same unit. Eligibility to Donate In order to donate vacation credits, an employee must meet all of the following eligibility criteria: • must be employed in a participating bargaining unit. • must be employed in the same agency or department as the employee to whom donations are made, though not necessarily at the same facility for location, OR be a family member of an eligible recipient employed in a different agency than the donor. • must have a minimum vacation balance of at least 10 (ten) days after making the donation. Donations must be made in full-day units (7.5 or 8 hours). Donors cannot donate vacation which they would otherwise forfeit. Donor identity is kept strictly confidential. Note: donated leave is taken from the donor's balance at the time it is needed by the recipient, not necessarily at the time of the donation. The employee, co-workers or local union representatives may solicit donations; the employing campus may not solicit donations. Employees can be terminated by operation of law, rule or regulation, even if they have received donations which would carry them on the payroll beyond the termination date. (Examples include retrenchment, non-renewal, termination of temporary employment, and termination under Article XIV, Title C of the Polices of the Board of Trustees.) Eligibility to Receive Donated Leave In order to receive donated leave credits, an employee must meet the following eligibility criteria: • must be employed in a participating bargaining unit. • must be employed in the same department or agency as the donor OR be a family member of an eligible donor in another agency. • be subject to the attendance rules or otherwise eligible to earn leave credits. UUP employees must be a calendar year or college year employee to accrue vacation leave credits. • be absent due to a non-occupational personal injury or disability for which medial documentation satisfactory to management is submitted. •have exhausted all leave credits. • be expected to continue to be absent for at least two bi-weekly payroll periods following exhaustion of leave credits or sick leave at half pay. • must not have had any disciplinary actions or unsatisfactory performance evaluations within the last three years. The Human Resource Management/Payroll Office of the employing campus is responsible for verifying medical documentation, reviewing eligibility requirements, approving and processing donations, confirming employee acceptance of donations, and transferring credits.

Message from Missy Sidor, Amenities Officer

Hello from Missy Sidor, Amenities Officer! I’m sure everyone, like me, is hoping spring weather is around the corner… Thank you to those members who ventured out in February for the Winter Membership Meeting and Party. It was a wonderful evening of entertainment and great conversation. A 50/50 raffle was held during the event and as a result $97 dollars was raised to support the Amenities fund. Looking ahead to the Fall Picnic, I will be organizing a basket raffle as well as a 50/50. Donations of items for the basket raffle from the members will be crucial to have a successful offering of winning baskets. Below you will find a list of the themes for the baskets. Basket Themes:

Baking/Cooking Holiday Decorations Movie Night with the Kids Family Game Night Wine Lovers Beer Lovers Cleaning Spa Night Date Night Chocolate/Candy Lovers

Nonperishable items can be dropped off at the UUP office, W234 Thompson Hall, or to me in W113A Thompson Hall. I will assemble the baskets in Early August and presale of 50/50 and raffle tickets will be available the start of the semester. Just a reminder that if you would like a card sent out on behalf of the Fredonia UUP Chapter, please send your request via email to sidor@fredonia.edu. In solidarity, Missy
