As the Fall 2020 term winds down and we look ahead toward another atypical term of teaching, coaching, and counseling in times of COVID-19, now is an appropriate time to review the Faculty Rights Tips we have offered over the last few months. Most are standard tips about the rights and protections that comprise our Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), while others are specific to the historical moment we are living through, where COVID-19 has changed the quality of our working lives and where the federal government has expressed hostility to academic freedom. Even in uncertain times, our CBA remains a strong and vital tool in the protection of our rights, and in our pursuit of respect and justice.
