University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel continues to deny living wages and equitable compensation to Lecturers, the non-tenure track faculty at the University of Michigan who generate $462 million in tuition revenue each year. Most egregiously, Schlissel is determined to direct far fewer resources to Lecturers on UM Dearborn and Flint campuses. Contact him RIGHT NOW to tell him this is unacceptable. He must listen to the Board of Regents, who have been clear in their support and respect for our fight for a fair contract.

- Tell Schlissel to give us a fair contract with living wages on ALL THREE campuses, by the end of April.
- Let him know in your call/email/Tweet what leverage you have to care about this issue. Are you a donor? Tuition payer? Michigan taxpayer? Do you have press contacts that you’ll use? Are you planning on attending the May 17 Regents Meeting? Tell him this so he knows to listen up.
- Pick one of the following issues that remain unresolved at the bargaining table and let him know that it matters to you:
*UM continues to unfairly disadvantage Dearborn and Flint Lecturers/campuses
*Minimum salaries are still hovering near $40k/yr for Ann Arbor and $30k/yr for Dearborn and Flint
*Equity compensation for long-exploited Lecs remains minimal
*Admin refuses to approve a working title change to Teaching Professor to A) reflect the respect we deserve and B) make it possible to continue recruiting high-caliber faculty
Can you call TODAY?
Lecturers' Employee Organization 
I got an error message from the pressoff@umich.edu, looks like he’s not accepting emails! So I helpfully emailed most of the staff in the president’s office (https://president.umich.edu/about/office-staff/) and asked them to pass it on!
