Lecturers at UCLA and across the UC system contribute to our students’ learning and overall college experience, as well as to the teaching excellence of this University.  Lecturers (also known as non-senate or contingent faculty) teach at least one-third of undergraduate credit hours, and contribute significantly to their departments and generally to the  vitality of the campus.

AAUP supports lecturers and their union, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), in their current efforts to improve: (1) salaries and benefits reflective of expertise and cost of living; (2) timely notification of hiring and course assignments; (3) full-time, year-long, multi-year appointments; (4) smaller class size; (5) decreased workload to allow more time for class preparation and student interaction; and (6) equal access to course schedules.

AAUP urges its members to support UCLA lecturers. For more information, contact Karl Lisovsky, President, UCLA AFT or the University Council-AFT.
