The Affordable Care Act:

As many of you know, the Affordable Care Act has provisions in it that could directly or indirectly impact adjunct faculty at CLC and elsewhere. The CLC-AFO, along with the IFT-AFT, is on top of this and is watching this situation. We feel right now there are too many variables that could impact us and we are diligently trying to receive information so we can make an informed stand. What precipitated this message now is that some adjunct faculty from our sister colleges are rallying in Lombard this Friday (3/8/13) to voice their concerns to community college administrators over the possible impact of this act on their teaching load.
