Will paid family leave be available again in Spring semester?Full-time and part-time faculty parents remain in the dark about how to plan for Spring 2021 because the FFCRA (Families First Coronavirus Relief Act), which allowed full-time and part-time faculty to take a reduced load without affecting pay or benefits will expire at the end of the calendar year unless Congress acts to renew it.
In memoriam: Kathleen de Azevedo Feinblum
We lost a really good one.
Kathleen Feinblum was advocating for part-timers’ rights 20 years ago
Kathleen Feinblum was a long-time part-time faculty activist and wrote a column in The Advocate, called “The Part-Timer Voice” over twenty years ago. She was advocating for the same issues that are still being fought for today. Part-time faculty were actually successful in getting our Board of Trustees to pass a resolution in support of “equal pay for equal work” for part-timers on April 12, 2000!
