This week’s Point was written by Steve Striffler, a professor in Labor Studies.

The FSU’s core bargaining team has proposed abolishing the Associate Lecturer category.   Wait?  What?   Why?  What will happen to the approximately 200 Associate Lecturers currently teaching on campus?  They will get a promotion to Lecturer! -- a slightly less exploited category of NTT faculty.
