We didn’t initially post union executive council member Michael Batson’s response to the open letter because he was not one of the original recipients of the open letter, but we distributed it via the Adjunct Project listserv and the national contingent-academics listserv on Friday, May 16.

Batson’s response, however, has spurred a response by longtime CUNY adjunct Harry T. Cason, who previously offered this statement in support of the letter campaign. And Luke Elliott, Adjunct Project coordinator for labor relations, responds in part to Batson as well. Accordingly, we posted Batson’s response today.
