BREAKING Rutgers University ends week-long strike
In a letter to the Rutgers community, the university announced that a framework on the economic issues for new contracts has been reached.
"Most important, closure on this framework will allow our 67,000 students to resume their studies and pursue their academic degrees. Nothing we do is as important as living up to the expectations that our students and their families have of us to be fully supportive of them and nurturing of their academic ambitions and dreams."
Thousands of professors, part-time lecturers and graduate student workers at New Jersey's flagship university went on strike Monday April 10th - the first such job action in the school's 257-year history. Three unions, which represent about 9,000 Rutgers staff members, were involved in the strike: The Rutgers AAUP-AFT, which represents full-time faculty, graduate workers, postdoctoral associates and some counselors; the Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union, which represents part-time lecturers; and the AAUP-BHSNJ, which includes faculty in the biomedical and health sciences at Rutgers' medical, dental, nursing, and public health schools.
