Higher Education in New Jersey: The Challenges We Face
AFTNJ is pleased to announce its sponsorship of three webinars on higher education in New Jersey. The Corporation for NJ Local Media (CNJLM) will be hosting the webinars on Zoom.
Challenges for Higher Education
Experts from around the state will look at the big picture of higher education in NJ, and particularly focus on the upcoming demographic cliff. The panel will look at options to make up for the enrollment drop, and examine the different options for small private colleges and public colleges.
The Future of New Jersey City University
This webinar will be a detailed look at Jersey City, including a consideration of recommendations by NJCU’s fiscal monitor.
Exploring the Erosion of Tenure
This webinar will feature a discussion about adjuncts and non-tenure track teaching faculty, exploring the erosion of tenure and use of contingent work. Panelists will discuss whether NJ college and universities are relying too much on adjuncts, whether adjuncts are being properly compensated, and what organizing efforts and bargaining look like in NJ and throughout the nation.
