We learned this week of the administration’s finalized plan to layoff non-tenure-eligible faculty (NTEs). Please take a moment to read Dr. Scott Challener’s “A Note to My Students on My Future with William & Mary” (t.ly/9Kur) Read it. Share it. Speak up.

WE the undersigned— Faculty Staff WORKERS Graduate WORKERS Allied Organizations Alumni Students —ask YOU to join us in the fight for non-tenure-eligible faculty, the backbone of teaching at W&M. Sign our petition here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Friends of WMWU! Friday Jan. 29th is a Day of Visibility to save faculty jobs. Use the poster as your zoom background or print it and hang it proudly. Our demand will not be ignored. Be sure to sign our open letter here: ow.ly/kbM150Dlpyf

38.5% of W&M instructors do not have job security. Part-time instructors (20%) can be fired at will, and 13% of W&M's instructors have to worry about losing their jobs EVERY YEAR. And this data doesn't even consider grad instructors! Our professors deserve better.
