Target: Connecticut State Legislature
Region: United States of America
Background (Preamble):
Less than two years ago, HCC suffered the loss of many of its full-time faculty and staff, some of which have not been replaced. In the same time, the college has grown by thousands of students.
Adjunct professors, despite being highly qualified as teachers, cannot serve on committees or provide essential advising and other services for students.

Petition:
We, the students of Housatonic Community College in Bridgeport, CT, demand that the faculty and staff retain full collective bargaining rights, and that no full-time professors be laid off as a result of the upcoming state budget negotiations.
The ratio of Housatonic Community College full-time faculty to students is already dangerously low, and students are losing vital services.
We urge you to sign this petition to preserve the integrity of our college. It will be presented to the Connecticut State Legislature on Wednesday, April 27, 2011.
