• IFO Ad Hoc Committee on Contingent Faculty
  The IFO is seeking two volunteers from each state university campus to serve on a state-wide IFO Ad Hoc Committee on Contingent Faculty.  At least one volunteer from each campus should be a Contingent (Adjunct, Fixed Term or Non-Tenure Track) faculty member who is also a member of the IFO. 

  This committee is being formed to examine issues and concerns relating to non-tenured and non-tenure track faculty (Adjunct, Fixed Term, and Non-Tenure) at the state universities.  The committee will gather information and make recommendations regarding IFO operations, priorities and policies that relate to contingent faculty members.

  It is expected that the committee will meet before the IFO Delegate Assembly meets on March 23-24.  If the IFO Board of Directors approves, the committee may continue its operations through the 2012-2013 academic year.
