Voice in University and Department Academic Life

Adjunct faculty members exercise their voice through the Adjunct Faculty Advisory Committee (AFAC),  an elected body that functions as a focused and responsive vehicle for voicing and resolving adjunct faculty concerns.  Adjunct faculty can also participate in department and college meetings and serve on representative bodies—according to local academic unit practices in the schools and colleges.

Adjunct Faculty Advisory Committee

The Adjunct Faculty Advisory Committee (AFAC) is an elected university committee that hears, researches, reports, and suggests resolutions for workplace issues affecting the lives of adjunct faculty members across the university. The committee identifies and recommends changes to university policies that impact adjunct faculty to Faculty Council via the Faculty Council's adjunct faculty representative, who is selected by and from the AFAC. The committee includes 1-2 members from each college or school.  Elections are held in colleges and schools with open seats at the beginning of fall quarter.  More information about the AFAC selection process and eligibility criteria can be found here.
