"Contract faculty make up around half of NYU's full-time faculty. However, they said they earn, on average, 36% less than their tenured colleagues. Contract faculty salaries lag far behind our tenured colleagues, the union noted on its website."
"Contract faculty need a fairer compensation structure that addresses salary compression, corrects inequities, and ensures that our pay reflects the cost of living in New York City."
"For five months, we have urged the union to join us in resolving this contract through an independent mediator. The union has refused. They chose to strike."
Nearly 1,000 full-time non-tenure-track faculty at NYU initiated a strike after contract negotiations failed. The union, Contract Faculty United UAW, sought improvements in compensation, job security, academic freedom, AI, and workload. Despite extending the strike deadline, negotiations did not yield satisfactory results. Contract faculty earn 36% less than tenured colleagues, prompting demands for a fair compensation structure. NYU management claimed to have offered significant raises and the highest minimum salaries for unionized contract faculty but criticized the strike as unnecessary, urging mediation instead.
