A historic victory for Howard Universitys non-tenure-track faculty
b'Hundreds of non-tenure-track lecturers and adjunct faculty at Howard University, one of the most storied higher education institutions in the US, have been fighting for nearly four years to negotiate their first union contract with the university administration. On Wednesday, March 23, just hours before they were set to go on strike, the union bargaining team reached a tentative agreement with the administration, which members will be reviewing and voting on in the coming weeks. Reporting from Howard\\u2019s campus in Washington DC, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Corey Lamont, a lecturer in Howard\\u2019s English Department and member of the SEIU Local 500 bargaining unit, about the union\\u2019s long fight to secure their first contract with the university and what having that contract will mean for faculty and the broader campus community.
