Your retirement may not be reported correctly to STRS. You should keep a log of hours and classes that you teach every semester and periodically check your STRS annual reports. Contact the Faculty Association for help in checking your status.
If you are curious, confused or displeased with any of what was written here, you don’t have to accept it; you can try to change it. Ask questions, get informed and get involved, and spread the word. We adjunct faculty need to stand together. Contact your Department PT representatives, or Andrew Walzer, Martin Goldstein, Melissa Michelson, Lantz Simpson or anyone else in the Faculty Association office, or try Lesley Kawaguchi, head of the Academic Senate, or go to the FACCC website for ideas to get started. And consider joining CPFA, the California Part-Time Faculty Association, an information and lobbying group that has helped get most of what has been gotten for PTers in the last few years. Their newspaper, the CPFA news, and their listserve are also great places to get ideas and make connections locally, statewide, and nationally.
