Labor asked management a number of questions about Title IX and Title VI, and Jessica Morack responded that she provides trainings on these issues. Asking for more information and resources, training was offered repeatedly as the remedy and that each issue should be resolved on a case-by-case basis. The issue of what titles are mandatory Title IX reporters continues to be unclear.

Discussion of support from Graduate Council for graduate student pay and stipends: a December resolution was passed unanimously. Additionally, there were many signatories on a recent letter to Josh Brumberg. Management’s response was much the same there; agreement that they should be raised but trying to find funds.

Labor raised issues about communication in the roll out of replacement opportunities with the loss of the Writing Across the Curriculum program; information was shared differently depending upon EOs and across different programs. Management said they would speak with Monica Varsanyi about the communication.

Labor asked if the Pedagogy@CUNY program could be extended to 6th year students if they received low numbers of applications from 5th years. Management will check and get back to us.

Misinformation had been given out to HEOs by GC HR about who is eligible for salary differentials for degrees obtained. Labor asked for those members who this might affect to be notified.

Labor asked for more information about how faculty are promoted into the title of distinguished professor, and Brumberg outlined a new procedure that he has instated. As Brumberg has newly created this process and it involves review by both internal committees and outside reviewers, there have been lags in notifying current candidates.

Labor asked that Brumberg consider designating another percentage of remote and in-person work for those the Remote Work Agreement affects other than the CUNY-wide suggestion of 70% in-person and 30% remote. Brumberg did not commit to any changes and suggested that individuals speak with their direct supervisors.
