The Times: Rider faculty agree to contract

LAWRENCE — Rider University administrators and faculty reached a tentative contract settlement yesterday, averting a strike that could have begun as early as next week.

The agreement is still subject to the ratification of the board of trustees and union members, according to Jeff Halpern, a sociology professor at Rider who also is the head negotiator for the university’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors.
