Hello All,
The following is a message from Lauren Stark, CAA Conference
Coordinator. If you have faculty status and are planning on attending
the American Association of University Professors governance conference
in October, you may be interested in the scholarship opportunity
detailed below. The deadline is September 1.

ARLIS/NA-CAA Liaison
Colleagues:
The American Association of University Professors has a limited amount
of
funding available for contingent faculty members who would like to
attend
our October governance conference in Indianapolis. The funding is part
of a project, funded by the Sloan Foundation, on contingent faculty and
work and family issues.
The conference is October 10-11 with an additional preliminary day on
athletics on October 9. Funding will cover the two regular conference
days, Friday October 10 and Saturday October 11.
The conference, "Making Teamwork Work," will have sessions on many
aspects
of college and university governance. A portion of the program will be
devoted to issues relating to contingent faculty appointments: a
luncheon
talk on contingent faculty and governance; a session on the AAUP's new
draft policy statement on contingent faculty and the profession; and
another session on what work the AAUP has done and should do on adjunct
issues.
For more information about the conference, visit our Web site at
http://www.aaup.org/events/03gov.htm.
A limited number of scholarships are available; faculty holding either
part-time or full-time non-tenure-track positions are eligible to apply.
Scholarships cover travel and meals up to a specified cap, registration,
and hotel.
If interested, please send a letter of interest to Gwendolyn Bradley
BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1. The letter should state where and what you teach,
the type(s) of appointments that you hold, and why you are interested in
attending the conference.
You will be notified about whether you have received funding by
September 3. If the number of applicants exceeds the number of available
scholarships, decisions will be made on the basis of criteria including
diversity in geographic location, discipline, and type of appointment.
