Occupy Syllabi

10/27/2013

In addition to Occupy Syllabi, the MSCC houses gender rights advocates!

The Friday before the seizure of our center, Students for Educational Rights was on cloud nine. When you're an activist, you're usually battling powers that have more connections and money than you...

The CCNY Faculty Handbook is no longer available online.

The old link-- found in an earlier post-- leads to a page where those searching for the newly named, "The Academic Standards Handbook" should click the link to find information about academic policies, grading, general requirements, the CLAS Committee on Course and Standing, and related issues.

Only that link goes nowhere.

Instead, we have to contact the Office of Academic Standards at x8113.

Ask for the newest version of our policies tomorrow!

This is a warm welcome to the new friends on our facebook page and latest people to sign our petition!

And a special thank you to the FACULTY who have pledged their support!

What a pleasant surprise to see so many new faces before finals week!

As the semester ends and summer starts, we have one goal: signatures on the petition!

The president of City College has the power to ensure that faculty are creating proper syllabi.

Ensuring that City College has proper syllabi is an issue of adjuncts' rights as well as students' rights;

Our least appreciated and worst-paid instructors receive none of the other benefits afforded to ull-time faculty and administration.

The least our adjuncts deserve is the time and training to make a decent syllabus!

Tell your friends about the petition...

and study hard!

Because the administration has been neglecting for years to enforce our College’s policy that faculty must include and adhere to proper grading criteria on their syllabi, allowing instructors to grade on a whim at an institution that risks non-compliance with its accrediting commission’s standards f...

The only things we occupy are syllabi.

The only revolution we are trying to start is in the mind.

Make sure to ask your instructor for grading criteria.

If you have questions, contact us.

Or, you can email the school ombudsperson, Jane Gallagher.

Good luck on finals!
