At Minnesota’s state universities, faculty members have agreed to have their salaries frozen for the next two years in a move to save jobs and programs, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported.
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities announced a tentative contract agreement with the Inter Faculty Organization, which represents more than 3,000 faculty members at seven institutions. The agreement still must be ratified by union members and approved by the system’s Board of Trustees in order for it to go in effect.
The agreement doesn’t change the other conditions in the current contract, which expires on June 30.
