AAFMCC BARGAINING UPDATE

member voices: The roots of the current crisis

"I appreciate that you are looking into the issue of adjunct faculty online training. I would like to add that this problem predates the current crisis.

I have taught as an adjunct instructor at MCC for the past nineteen years. I requested permission to undertake Canvas training last August. Several days later, my associate dean, responded, stating that "...the department's current needs were met." In the fall, I met briefly with the provost during the Macomb campus-wide faculty meeting and related that this took place. He seemed unmoved. I again requested training in February of this year when I realized that a pandemic was imminent. This time my AD did not respond to me directly at all.

For years the college has professed that it desires and offers faculty training, if for no other reason than to bolster its case for accreditation, but its actions clearly do not support this."

-Stephen Marcincavage, AAFMCC Member
