Whereas regular increases in the adjunct stipend rate make more budgetary sense than increases done periodically;<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
