Unranked Faculty Union
UPDATE: July 19, 2022
Please note that unranked faculty contracts will be issued by August 4, 2022. We have had a string of circumstances that have limited our capacity to get them done by the July 21 deadline, and this additional time will ensure that we are able to issue contracts to everyone at the same time and with the accuracy that is needed. The union has been consulted and has agreed.
The July 21st course cancellation fee deadline (as outlined in Article 25) still applies for any canceled classes in which a replacement can not be offered.

About the Unranked Faculty Union (SEIU Local 1021)
On May 1, 2017, the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for regular unranked faculty of California College of the Arts went into effect. The CBA covers all regular unranked faculty in academic-degree granting programs. Unranked faculty who have completed the teaching of one or more course lines at CCA in a degree-granting program in two different semesters become regular unranked faculty.
