In Solidarity with New School Part-Time Faculty: An Update on Contract Negotiations
Based on the principles of community, open dialogue, and critical engagement that are foundational to and for education, the Philosophy Film Club recognizes the part-time faculty and student workers of The New School. Our part-time faculty colleagues constitute 87% of the university’s teaching staff and are seeking a fair contract. We support their strike.

~The New School chapter of the American Association of University Professors has created a Letter of Support template for members and allies to reach out to their networks to update them about the current crisis and to encourage them to contact the administrative leadership at The New School.
~Alumni of The New School have organized a Statement of Solidarity that is open for signatures.
~Current students recognizing that education is a public good have also organized a Communiversity to maintain their learning during the strike. Faculty and community members interested in doing teach-ins are encouraged to get in touch.
Together onward!
