When I first started as a union rep at @UCAFT_UCLA, I learned of a case a predecessor had filed in 2010. Four lecturers during the recession had gone from pay status to 'Lecturer without Salary.'

@fuscowrites Following! I won't ask students to do any close(ish) student-to-student contact in class. But I was going to ask #AcademicTwitter a related thing. I'm seeking ideas on alt activities that are interactive but w/o contact. We're not allowed to have actual paper passed in the room🙃
