Lee College Guild Pushes Improvements with Limited Wins
The Lee College Guild formed about three years ago to defend faculty rights and push campus reforms. It has around 20 members, 16 percent of LC staff, operating as a union under Texas United Faculty and the American Federation of Teachers. The group seeks direct access to the Board of Regents, cites clashes with administration, and notes only modest policy changes despite several presentations and legal defense fund use.
