The Chronicle: Minnesota Faculty Members Agree to No Raises for 2 Years

In a move to save jobs and programs at Minnesota’s state universities, faculty members have agreed to have their salaries frozen for the next two years.

According to an announcement from Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, a tentative contract agreement with the Inter Faculty Organization — which represents more than 3,000 faculty members at seven institutions — must still be ratified by union members and approved by the system’s Board of Trustees in order to go into effect.
