This is a nuisance, I know, but each semester we terminate the membership of any instructor who isn't currently teaching. Sorry, Any questions about benefits are referred to the Compensation and Benefits office of Human Resources. I just found out that I have achieved adjunct status retroactive to the beginning of the semester. When we receive notification that you are now adjunct, we will note that on our database, but will not collect retroactive dues. I'm sure my contract rights have been violated.
Instructors have many representatives to turn to for help.
Any person on that list is willing and able to provide assistance.
