We invite self-nominations to become representatives on the UMBC Adjunct Faculty Advisory Committee (AFAC). The AFAC is an elected body charged with representing the interests of our part-time adjunct faculty within our campus system of shared governance. Members of the AFAC are responsible for communicating adjunct needs and concerns to the campus administration, making recommendations related to adjunct professional development and working conditions, and providing advice on policies and procedures that concern adjunct faculty. In recognition that adjunct faculty are compensated only for course-by-course instructional services,
AFAC members receive a yearly stipend equivalent to one semester course and are reimbursed for travel and other reasonable expenses, consistent with USM and UMBC travel policies.
AFAC representatives will serve a two-year term from Fall 2023 through Spring 2025. Elections are being held for two representatives from CAHSS; one representative from CNMS; and one representative from COEIT and one non-college affiliated representative. All Adjunct I, Adjunct II, and Adjunct III faculty employed to provide instruction on a course-by-course basis at UMBC this spring, including UMBC programs at Shady Grove, who have taught in this capacity at UMBC for at least four previous semesters, are eligible for nomination.
Please note that regular faculty and staff at UMBC who receive additional compensation to teach on a course-by-course basis are not eligible to serve on the AFAC.
Self-nominations must include name, College, and length of service at UMBC as well as responses to the following questions:
1. What strengths do you think you would bring to the AFAC? (200 words or less)
2. What issues do you think the AFAC should be addressing during the 2021-2022 academic year? (200 words or less)
Nomination materials must be submitted electronically via (https://forms.gle/r9dounLXSjCoTSae7) by Sunday, April 23rd.
Candidate statements and voting instructions will be posted on Monday April 24th and voting will take place over a period of ten days (deadline May 3rd).
For additional information, please contact Bonnie Kegan at bkegan1@umbc.edu or Rob Bennett bennerob@umbc.edu
