Bill > H2322

This bill aims to ensure fair public higher education workplaces by making several changes to state law. It would include certain part-time faculty employed at public institutions of higher education in the state retirement system, allow them to accrue creditable service, and require the state to contribute to their retirement plans. The bill also mandates that part-time and adjunct faculty receive pay on a pro-rata basis compared to full-time, non-tenure track faculty, and establishes processes for part-time faculty to receive timely notice, priority consideration, and a fair chance at attaining tenure-track positions. Additionally, the bill allows the Board of Higher Education and the University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees to submit appropriation requests directly to the state legislature.
