Welcome to COCAL International
COCAL is a coalition of higher education activists from the North American continent. We are united in working to improve working conditions at colleges and universities for contingent faculty, including adjunct, part-time, and non-tenure track instructors, and graduate teaching assistants.
COCAL holds biennial conferences with presentations on organizing faculty, gaining equitable working conditions, legislative solutions, and the effects of globalization on higher education. The next conference, COCAL X, will be held August 10-13, 2012 in Mexico City.
COCAL members also hold Fair Employment Week (FEW) every year in Canada and Campus Equity Week (CEW) every other year in the United States. FEW/CEW aims to bring more public awareness to working conditions faced by many contingent faculty: low wages and benefits, lack of academic freedom, unpredictability of assignments, and arbitrary treatment.
