The Adjunct Faculty Association of Nassau Community College hired private investigators to quiz two members of the New York college’s Board of Trustees last week, Newsday reported today. The faculty group dispatched the detectives as part of a campaign against the hiring of non-union faculty members.
Investigators, including a retired FBI agent, questioned the trustees at their homes about alleged violations of immigration laws at the college, the newspaper reported.
Both trustees told county lawmakers on Monday that the visits had been intimidating and improper. But one of the investigators said neither trustee had complained during the interviews. —Paul Fain
