Wright State University and its American Association of University Professors-affiliated faculty union reached an agreement late Sunday to end the union’s three-week strike. Details were not immediately available. The two groups met over the weekend with a federal mediator and agreed to certain compromises, according to a joint statement.
“Both parties made substantial concessions to help move the university forward together,” Cheryl B. Schrader, Wright State’s president, said. “I welcome back our returning faculty, and I know the rest of the university does, too. We are united in our collective calling to serve our students.”
Marty Kich, union president and professor of English, said, “I am sure all our members are glad to be going back to the classroom, where we hope things will return to normal for our students as soon as possible.”
Union members approved a strike after Wright State’s governing board imposed a contract outside of collective bargaining. Just last week Wright State posted job ads for long-term replacement instructors in scores of disciplines.
