At UMass there is a union for professional staff which makes a huge
difference. Several years ago, the language center director's position was
upgraded two "steps" when there was a review of all job descriptions for
professionals. It helped that I carefully followed a supplied worksheet
which served as reminder to all that the position entails. I'd be happy to
send the worksheet to anyone as a guide. -Irene Starr
