Whereas research conducted by the Compensation and Welfare Committee demonstrates that most Seton Hall adjuncts are paid well below those teaching at our local peer and competitor schools;

Whereas equitable adjunct compensation ensures that the University can hire the most qualified instructors;

Whereas regular increases in the adjunct stipend rate make more budgetary sense than increases done periodically;

Be it resolved that the adjunct stipend rate across the University be increased to a minimum of $1500 per credit for adjuncts with a terminal degree, and $1200 for adjuncts with an MA.

Further, the adjunct stipend should be adjusted annually to account for cost of living increases.
