The AFA is being paused, not eliminated.<\/a><\/p> The pause applies to regular AFA activities for one academic year.

Adjunct faculty may continue to attend department meetings and may be selected as voting members of their departments in accordance with Administrative Rule 2.0703.03<\/a>, Adjunct Faculty Participation in Shared Governance.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n Adjunct faculty will also continue serving on collegewide committees and councils.<\/a><\/p> During the AFA pause, Academic Affairs will serve as the intermediary between adjunct faculty interested in serving and the chairs of shared governance committees and councils. An interest form was created and shared with adjuncts to facilitate those appointments. Adjuncts have been seated on committees and councils, and the shared governance website is being updated to show them.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n
