New Jersey Adjuncts Win Raise

Adjunct faculty members at nine New Jersey institutions secured their biggest pay increase ever in a tentative contract agreement late last month, NorthJersey.com reported. The four-year deal -- including a $230 raise per credit, to at least $1,705 -- followed faculty rallies statewide. Five thousand other full-time professors, librarians and staff members are still negotiating their contract.
