Adjunct faculty members have reopened contract negotiations with Georgetown University to modify compensation, benefits and cancellation rules. “We deeply appreciate the contributions that adjunct faculty make to the Georgetown community,” the spokesperson wrote to The Hoya. The current contract that governs adjunct faculty, which went into effect June 15, 2021, was scheduled to expire June 30, 2024. The president of SEIU Local 500 and the representative for Georgetown’s adjunct faculty did not respond to requests for comment. The current contract allows adjunct faculty members who work 50% to 74% of the time full-time faculty do, known as full-time equivalent (FTE), to participate in the university’s retirement savings plan.
