WASHINGTON—A new national adjunct faculty survey from the American Federation of Teachers underscores the continuing crisis faced by millions of contingent workers at the nation’s colleges and universities—with little improvement to poverty wages and untenable conditions in the wake of the pandemic.
The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) reduced the Social Security benefits of millions of retired teachers and public employees. Together, these two provisions unfairly penalized retirees in states across the country, and in Puerto Rico, who have spent careers in public service and contributed to social security and a defined benefit pension fund.
