Regular rank faculty in support of contingent faculty union efforts

Duke has sought from its founding to provide “real leadership in the educational world.” As our university transforms in the twenty-first century, we must articulate how its values should be implemented, particularly with respect to its core mission of scholarship and teaching. Everyone who sets foot in the classroom represents Duke and plays an important role in providing a world-class education to our students, but not all of our teaching colleagues receive world-class treatment in return. As tenured and tenure track faculty, it is our obligation to ensure that all faculty receive the fair compensation and access to the necessary tools required to provide students with teaching and mentorship of the highest caliber.
