This is an important milestone in our collective effort to strengthen faculty voices in university decision-making and build a more collaborative, equitable, and supportive workplace. 

Our next step is to work with the administration toward certification, which we hope to complete by December. Once certified, we will begin bargaining our first collective agreement. 

We want every faculty member to have the opportunity to participate in building a union that reflects our shared priorities, values, and aspirations.

If you haven't joined yet, now is a great time! 

We fundamentally respect and uphold the contribution of institutions of higher education to society. We also believe our students are the primary reason for our University’s existence, and the University’s success is inextricably bound to their success. Therefore, we hold the University to its mission and aspire to maintain a student-centered campus environment. We unite with recognition that institutional success can only be fully achieved when contributions of other campus faculty and staff are recognized and valued alongside contributions of tenure-track faculty. We also remain committed to the welfare, health, and well-being of the city and region served by our University.
