“We hope the board of trustees
fi nds the money, we don’t want to go on
strike, we want to do our jobs, but we
can’t keep doing them under these deteriorating
conditions,” Tom Watters
said at the protest.
Some 843 adjunct professors currently
teach at Brooklyn College, compared
to some 506 full-time educators,
a difference in staffi ng that is consistent
across the city’s public-university
system, the professor and union leader
said.
Adjunct lecturers can teach up to
nine credits per semester, or three
courses, on one CUNY campus, and an
additional course at another location,
amounting to a total annual median
income of $28,000, according to Davis.
But full-time staffers at the lowest
title and salary teach four courses per
semester and make about $46,000 annually,
ARREST
“You watch your a-- cause I unintelligible,
I’m going to put a bullet in
ya. When I’m in DC and you’re there,
I got your f------ mark you stupid b----,”
Brogan allegedly said in the message.
The spokesman declined to reveal
the pol’s identity, however, due to her
being the victim of the crime.
Brogan told investigators that the
video he watched, in which the senator
touted her pro-choice platform and
criticized Trump, made him “very angry,”
according to court documents.
“You and your constant lambasting
of President Trump. I’m cursing and
I’m in sin because of people like you,
ok? Cause I value the God given right
to life,” he allegedly said in the message.
“You should thank our lord and
savior Jesus Christ that you are alive.
But instead, reproductive rights, reproductive
rights … if I see you on the
streets, I’m gonna f------ light you up
with f------ bullets.”
Brogan attended the anti-abortion
“March for Life” in the nation’s capital
in January of 2017 and 2018, according
to posts on his Facebook account ,
which also notes he formerly worked
as a legislative IT specialist for Council.
“On the charter bus with St. Francis
DeSales parish of Belle Harbour
to March for Life 2018 in Washington
DC. Will this be the year?” he wrote
in one of the posts.
Special agents with the Capitol Police
traced the threatening message
back to Brogan through phone-company
records and his social-media
posts, and cuffed him on Dec. 12 after
showing up at his Marine Park home
with a search warrant.
The agents then brought Brogan
in for questioning, where he waived
his right to an attorney and admitted
to calling the senator, but said that he
couldn’t remember what he had said in
the message, according to court documents.
Offi cials released him that day on
a $50,000 bond, but he remains under
house arrest and must wear an ankle
monitor, according to the U.S. attorney’s
offi ce.
Following his arrest and release,
the defendant told the New York Daily
News that he regretted making the
phone call. But he also played down the
incident, and dismissed comparisons
to the former Brooklynite and self-proclaimed
Trump supporter whom the
Feds in October cuffed for allegedly
mailing more than a dozen homemade
bombs to politicians and news organizations
criticized by the president.
“I wish in retrospect I didn’t do it,
but I don’t think it’s that big,” Brogan
said.
He added that he wouldn’t have left
the message if he had known that there
would be consequences for his actions,
which he ultimately apologized for, according
to the Daily News report.

compensation that can rise to
an annual maximum of $82,700, and
comes with a number of benefi ts packages,
he said.
And raising Brooklyn College’s adjunct
professors’ pay per three-credit
course to $7,000 won’t only bring their
salaries closer to those of their fulltime
colleagues, but would also bring
CUNY’s compensation for part-time
teachers closer to that of private city
colleges, such as New York and Columbia
universities, Davis said.
The union leader pointed fi ngers
at former Mayor Bloomberg and Gov.
Cuomo for the system’s failure to allocate
more cash to adjunct lecturers’
salaries during negotiations for the
2010 contract, but said he is hopeful
the state’s newly elected Democratic
Legislature will push DeBlasio and
Cuomo to provide more funds for the
professors.
“Even though we still have the
same governor, the composition of the
state Senate has changed, and several
of the new senators are true progressives
who know about the higher-education
system and the exploitative adjunct
system,” Davis said.
A CUNY spokesman declined to answer
this newspaper’s questions about
the system’s ongoing negotiations with
the union.
“Negotiations with the PSC are underway.
We will negotiate at the bargaining
table, not in the press,” said
Frank Sobrino.
Brooklyn College spokesman Jason
Carey declined to comment.
