State Personnel - Collective Bargaining - Nontenure Track Faculty

Summary

The bill extends collective‑bargaining rights to adjunct and other non‑tenure‑track instructors at University System of Maryland schools, Morgan State University, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, and Baltimore City Community College, creating a distinct bargaining unit for them. It excludes faculty at fully online institutions, those funded by research or service grants, and certain supervisory or managerial employees. The change is intended to give these faculty a formal voice over wages, hours and other employment terms.
