Solving the Problem
Godfrey called for administrators and ten- ured professors—preoccupied with re- search, writing and préservation of essen- tial programmes—to stop regarding these legitimate and well qualified colleagues as “an exploitable and regrettable reality which we would just as soon forget about”. In order to fully integrate these scholars into the university community, Godfrey suggested that universities pay salaries appropriate to the teaching and scholarly duties performed, ie. one-third of the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Full Professor’s salary for one course, depending on qualifications. As well, part- time faculty should be made eligible for fringe benefits, hâve access to internai and external research funds available to full- time faculty, and be represented in depart- mental and university-wide decision making, Part-time faculty should also be made eligible for tenure and promotion, and given seniority when tenure-stream positions do become available, which they are projected to do in the near future. As Godfrey concluded, “it is time for ail of us to recognize that we hâve ail shared in the création of a group of faculty colleagues who are making a fundamental contribution to their university communities and who deserve a long overdue récognition, accommodation, and acceptance within the ranks of full-time faculty.”
Hannant, speaking from the viewpoint of limited term faculty, suggested that ses- sionals should be incorporated into either TA or faculty unions, preferably the latter, giving them a much needed organizational voice. He also suggested that the C.A.U.T. establish a committee to deal with prob- lems unique to sessionals; that it hâve a sessional représentative on rts council; and that it urge its member faculty associations to include sessionals and bargain for them. Only by improving salaries and benefits, and/or placing limrts on the percentage of faculty which can be part-time (say, 20 percent as an upper limit) will the incentive to hire non-tenured staff disappear.
