The union representing part-time faculty ended their monthlong strike — the longest one among adjunct faculty in the U.S. — over the weekend. many students are concerned about how grading will be handled.
A New School representative was not available Monday to discuss the situation, a school spokesperson said.
Allowing that some things fell short, including in relation to compensation being lower than average adjunct rates, she said structural changes have been made to “set us up great for collective bargaining in the future.” Webber also believes there needs to be greater recourse against harassment and discrimination beyond the school’s Title IX office.
Many of the affected students started their New School educations shortly before the pandemic lockdown took hold. Some are graduating this month. While many of her students were “so shocked” to find out the terms that adjunct professors were working under, they understood why the strike was a last resort. “I don’t think any of us thought that it would be making history as the longest adjunct strike in the U.S.,” she said.
