Sign the petition for a living wage for faculty at all New Mexico colleges and universities.
The establishment of a comparable minimum salary for full-time and part-time faculty at New Mexico’s colleges and universities will achieve parity among the state’s public educators and ensure that New Mexico’s public colleges and universities will be able to recruit and retain talented faculty who are committed to mentoring and educating New Mexico’s future scholars and leaders.
42% of the faculty at New Mexico’s public colleges and universities work as adjuncts. Adjunct faculty possess the same credentials as their full-time colleagues, teach at all levels of their institutions, in all formats, and are essential to fulfilling New Mexico’s higher education’s mission of supporting at-risk, first-generation students.
