FEATURES

COVER STORY
Generation Xers have grown up in the Internet era; they learn through the exchange of e-mails, thrive on instant messaging and live to blog. They may turn to your Web page before they turn to you for information. Thus, keeping up with technology will make you a better teacher and, ultimately, a more valuable employee. What’s your URL?
ORGANIZING
Forget the top-down hierarchy. Talk to anyone in the thick of things and you get the same answer: Campus Equity Week (CEW) is a grassroots movement, one with a protean nature that defies easy summation. CEW began in October 2001 (CEW 1) in the U.S. and Canada and will spread this October to Mexico. Even with these geographical gains can CEW leaders leverage better working conditions for contingent faculty?
