His reply-

"Dear Rainmom-

Thank you for your feedback."

Ummm yeah. . . and then this;

Dear Rainmom-

This semester SOC 100 will be presented as each of the sociology instructors have created his/her own syllabus. Planning for the spring semester will include an opportunity for the sociology faculty to decide collective on the student learning outcomes and how those outcomes will be measured in the liberal arts core.

It is the intention for the SOC 100 courses to have the identical student learning outcomes and method(s) of measuring those outcomes based on the criteria in the liberal arts core. If you do not want to participate in this discussion that is fine. Nevertheless, a syllabus will be developed that is consistent across all sections of SOC 100 and one that is compatible with the student learning outcomes and assessment process."

And I said-

"First- as you should be able to tell from my signature on all the e mails you received from me thus far, my name is now Ms. Rainmom, please make a note of it, as I have legally changed it and have filed the proper documentation with HR. So, Ms. Rainmom it is. . .
Second- I never said I did not want to participate in such discussions, I only said that as adjuncts, we are not paid in the summer, so if you wanted us to work on this as a team, we should have been offered jobs for the summer. May is the end date for our spring contracts, there is no more compensation after spring semester ends without a new contract, so June, July and most of August would be unpaid time without a new contract. For you to say I did not want to be part of this process was quite off the mark and puzzles me greatly. I want to be paid for my work, period. I regret that is such a conflicted issue.
I respectfully disagree with your assessment of my position on this matter. I believe that adjuncts are paid such small stipends because their responsibilities are limited to teaching duties. This is a development issue, time consuming and would be in addition to the instruction time for my sections. I love teaching, and wish I could make a living at it at PNTS, get paid a living wage, with health insurance, which I do not have right now. I would welcome the chance to take on new responsibilities like this, but need to be paid for my work.
In conclusion, I respectfully request that you take note of my actual position on this matter, which is I am currently paid a small sum to teach, I would love to assist you in this development endeavor, however, because I am the single parent of 6, I need to be paid for my time in accordance with PNTS commitment to social justice and fair wages. In my mind, and hopefully yours, that commitment includes adjuncts like me.

Respectfully,
Rainmom"

Game ON!!!
