The objectives of the TMCC chapter of the Nevada Faculty Alliance are to enhance the promise of higher education for the common good; to promote and maintain the standards and ideals of the profession; to provide a democratic voice for professional employees in higher education; to provide legislative advocacy; and to maintain collective bargaining agreements covering compensation, working conditions, and other items and conditions of employment
TMCC-NFA seeks to:
-
Secure explicit guarantees of academic freedom, tenure, and due process;
-
Establish orderly and clear procedures for prompt consideration of problems and grievances;
-
Advance and protect the professional and economic interests of all members of the TMCC-NFA bargaining unit;
-
Promote unity among employees and thereby enhance the effectiveness of TMCC-NFA in representing these employees; and
-
Uphold racial and social justice and thereby challenge systems of racial oppression and social inequity.
