POSTED BY THE AAUP

Clinical faculty at the AAUP-BHSNJ chapter need your support to win a fair contract after two years of bargaining. These members’ work on the frontlines of the COVID crisis, including work on developing a COVID-19 saliva test, is a real-life example of higher education for the common good. While Rutgers University’s president praises them as “heroes,” his negotiators take a hard line in bargaining by looking at layoffs and ways to de-tenure faculty. AAUP-BHSNJ hopes to revamp health and safety measures, clarify the role of family leave, and reduce gender pay inequity. Please sign this petition and stand with the faculty at AAUP-BHSNJ.

The chapter also created a short video to celebrate Rutgers’s health heroes and call attention to their petition. You can watch that here.
