The Adjunct Project
Contact: Jesse Goldstein, jgoldstein@gc.cuny.edu
The Adjunct Project is a group of Graduate Center students who work as adjuncts within the CUNY system. More than half of all classes at CUNY are now taught by adjuncts instead of full-time professors who have the time, money, and job security to provide the quality education that all CUNY students deserve. Adjuncts, on the other hand, are paid at below poverty-level wages and have no job security and minimal benefits. The interests of adjuncts and students are aligned. Together we can fight for a better CUNY.
