“After five days of intensive dialogue and negotiations in my office, I am pleased to share that the Rutgers University and union bargaining committees have come to an agreement,” Murphy said in an announcement he released at 1:30 a.m. Rutgers AAUP-AFT President Becky Givan, in the governor's announcement, said the framework “sets in place unprecedented gains for contingent workers, graduate students and our communities."
Adjunct professors’ per-credit rates for each class they teach would increase 43.8% over the course of four years. Under the adjuncts’ last contract, they earned a base pay of $5,799 for a three-credit course, with some lecturers earning up to $7,234 per course. The unions had said they wanted adjunct members to be paid comparably, per credit, to full-time non-tenured full-time faculty — and previously said their goal was $10,000 for a three-credit course.
None of the announcements specifically addressed unions' earlier demands for Rutgers to freeze costs in all housing it controls, or a $15 campus-wide minimum wage — measures that could have benefited students directly.
