e-Bulletin 20180919

 

Day 1: Help New Faculty, Staff and Students Register to Vote

This week we’ll be sending a few short ebulletins detailing ways that individuals can make a difference in the upcoming November elections.  Please forward this information to new faculty, staff and students, and anyone who has recently moved and may need to change their address.

The deadline to register to vote in the midterms is different in every state:

Pennsylvania: October 9, 2018.

New Jersey: October 16, 2018

Delaware: October 13, 2018

 

Pennsylvania

Three years ago Pennsylvania launched an online voter registration site. It has been used by over a million people who were either registering to vote or to changing their registration information. You can also register when you are applying for a PA driver’s license. Students who will be 18 by November 6th can register.

NTT Constituency Council Special Election Nominations

e-Bulletin20180910
 

The NTT Constituency Council is seeking nominations and self-nominations for a vacant position on the council, which is the representative body for NTTs in our union. This  is a two year replacement term appointment made necessary by a CC member’s change of status and runs through April 2020, at which time this member would be eligible to run for re-election for a subsequent three year term.  Any active NTT TAUP member is welcome to run for this position. However, since our bylaws limit the number of representatives from any one college and since we already have excellent representation on the NTT CC from the College of Liberal Arts, we are seeking candidates from other schools, especially Fox, Klein, and CST. 


As the representative body for NTTs in our union, the NTT CC works to ensure that the issues and concerns of NTTs are appropriately addressed in our union, especially in the upcoming several months leading up to contract negotiations set to begin in the spring of 2019.  This candidate should be available for scheduled meetings on campus across the academic year and be ready to take on a dedicated role in conducting the work of the NTT CC, with expectation of regular attendance at CC meetings and communication over email between meetings. 

 

This new member of the NTT CC will also be strongly encouraged to take part in building our union membership through conversations with colleagues in their classrooms, offices, and at tabling events.  No prior experience or union leadership is necessary, just a willingness to contribute your skills and a desire to work on behalf of our constituency in further strengthening our union.

 

Nominations and Self-Nominations should be sent by Monday, September 24th, to Andrew Mossin, NTT CC Chair, atamossin@gmail.com.
