Inside Higher Ed: CUNY faculty approve contract
Faculty members at the City University of New York overwhelmingly approved a new contract, the professors’ union announced Wednesday. The vote was 93 percent to 7 percent. Some adjunct faculty members pushed to reject the contract, which they said didn’t do enough for them in terms of either wages or job security. But many faculty members — including some who were critical of the pact — said that the deterioration of New York State’s budget picture would have made it dangerous to open negotiations again. Details about the contract may be found on the Web site of the Professional Staff Congress, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers.
