We now have a functioning listserver for temps/part-timers. The purpose of the listserver is to enable temporary instructors and part-timers, both at ISU and across Iowa, to discuss their common concerns. When temporary instructors account for almost 50% of teaching faculty nation wide, the concerns should be plenty. 

Since many view the use and abuse of temporary faculty as representing a great threat to tenure, concerned tenure-line and tenured faculty are welcome to join as well.

 To subscribe to the list send e-mail including only the word “subscribe” to

 temps-request@iastate.edu

You will quickly receive a message from majordomo that includes a confirmation code. Copy the confirmation code and send it to

 majordomo@iastate.edu

 That completes the process.
