It's likely that many of these lecturers will be returning to the classroom. I would stake a lot of money on it. No one will know anything until the enrollment for winter semester is complete. There are other teaching opportunities for lecturers. Many of the lecturers want to organize so they can bargain with the University, like other groups on campus.
Lecturers do have the right to organize.
We expect to vote during the winter semester and form a bargaining unit. We're the only group that can't bargain.
