Welcome FACE Talk to the Blogosphere

Our brothers and sisters at the AFT have started a new blog, FACE Talk, as part of their Faculty and College Excellence (FACE) campaign. You can find it at http://aftblog.blogs.com/face

Faculty and College Excellence is a nationwide legislative campaign aimed at getting colleges and university to employ full-time, tenure-track faculty members instead of switching to contingent faculty. A growing number of faculty members work long hours teaching multiple sections every semester, and still barely make a living wage. Less than a third of faculty members are tenured or on the tenure track – a number that keeps dropping.

Launching a new blog isn’t easy, so check them out and leave a friendly word.

    Thanks Steve!

    We hope EdWize readers will pop over and check out FACE Talk and give us your thoughts. How are colleges are staffed is an important issue for everyone whether you teach there as an adjunct faculty, or have children getting ready to attend college, or doing some college work yourself.

    Looking forward to chatting with everyone.

    Craig
