Dear Colleagues,
The NLRB has certified the vote regarding unionization of our non-tenure-track faculty. Of the 544 eligible voters, 338 ballots were counted. 245 voted yes and 93 voted no. Thank you to everyone who participated in this process.
We recognize there were strong opinions on both sides of this issue. We are committed to moving forward together and continuing our shared efforts to build a world-class university where all colleagues can build meaningful careers and share in our Jesuit mission.
Under the rules we agreed to, the University will recognize the union and begin the collective bargaining process with the SEIU to achieve a mutually agreeable contract.
Sincerely,
Kate Morris
Acting Provost
