This session for faculty members currently on a definite-term contract is presented by the Academic Freedom & Tenure Committee, which helps members navigate all kinds of workplace issues. It will help you to:

• interpret your current contract and what you're entitled to as a definite term faculty member,
• prepare to negotiate your next contract, and
• understand the pathway to continuing status.

There is still space in this workshop, but we cannot order additional lunches.
