Many temporary professors teach on a temporary basis not because of any lack in their teaching abilities, credentials, or research program, but because of the varying demands of the communication marketplace, in which there can be an oversupply in some specialties much as there can be an undersupply in others. Their reward for remaining in the discipline is low pay, a lack of support for their ongoing research programs, a lack of support for their membership in and attendence at the meetings of regional and national communication organizations, and no health insurance, retirement, or other benefits. An organizing meeting for this proposed caucus was held at NCA on Saturday, November 19 from 5:00pm to 6:15pm in the 3rd Floor Atrium Lounge of the Marriott Copley Place. After some minor glitches (the hotel didn't know we were scheduled to use the space) the meeting was held. During the meeting we agreed, among other things, to formally petition NCA to establish the caucus. We are currently circulating an electronic petition to form this caucus. If you support the caucus, please sign our petition survey.
