In New Jersey, faculty at the state-run Rutgers University have suspended their strike and are returning to classrooms today after reaching tentative deals on pay increases, job security and union representation. These include a 48% raise for adjunct faculty and a 33% pay raise for graduate workers. The first faculty strike in Rutgers’s 257-year history was organized by three unions representing over 9,000 professors, lecturers, graduate assistants and researchers.
