A new contract between the 14 state-owned universities—which includes Slippery Rock University—and their 5,000 faculty members is now official.
The PA State System of Higher Education formally approved the new deal at their Board of Governors meeting yesterday.
Faculty members will receive periodic raises of about two percent over the next four years.
The new contract was overwhelmingly supported by faculty and was voted on unanimously by the Board of Governors.
The deal begins July 1, 2020 and runs through 2023.
