Some faculty at the City University of New York believe that the tentative contract agreement announced late last month by the Professional Staff Congress, which would boost pay for three-credit courses by 71 percent, will not do enough to improve adjunct salaries.
The 63-month pact, which runs from Dec. 1, 2017 to Feb. 28, 2023, provides a 10-percent salary increase for 30,000 employees, including a 2-percent raise retroactive to Oct. 1, 2018. More than 12,000 adjuncts, who make up the majority of the teaching staff at the City University of New York, currently earn as little as $3,222 per course, but if ratified, this pact would increase pay for three-credit classes to $5,500.
