I think it would be great if part-timers established their own petition. 'Let a thousand flowers bloom...'

The reason for having a distinct petition for full time faculty is due to our central role in carrying out the university's mission, its administration, curricular oversight, student recruitment, admissions etc.

For us to articulate this stance carries its own significance that is analogous to the administration of other public institutions such as hospitals who are also taking a leadership role in opposing in principle this proposed law.

It may be especially important for part-time faculty and/or staff to take a stance in opposition to this proposed law, where it is the case that their trade unions are either ambivalent or even publicly supportive of it. Just a thought...
