James Boyle speaks with three representatives from the Rutgers chapter of American Association of University Professors and American Federation of Teachers (AAUP-AFT): Physics professor Troy Shinbrot, journalism and media studies professor Teresa Politano, and graduate assistant Soili Smith. The three discussed different structural issues at Rutgers that are affecting many faculty members, including the university's increasing exploitation of a contingent labor force in the form part-time lecturers, lack of diversity among faculty, unequal access to healthcare and benefits (especially for PTLs and TAs/GAs), and the over-funding of the athletics department at the expense of academics. In addition, they highlighted the importance of standing in solidarity in this fight, and informed students and community members how they can get involved and support the union.
