2009 NYSUT RA Resolution
United University Professions
WHEREAS, in light of the financial crisis facing the
nation and higher education, NYSUT and its affiliates
affirm the following:
RESOLVED, that academic freedom and economic security for
all faculty and professional staff are necessary for the
success of academic institutions; and be it further
RESOLVED, that no cost-saving measures be considered that
contravene existing contracts resulting from collective
bargaining; and be it further
RESOLVED, that no work-force reductions be made for
budgetary reasons; and be it further
RESOLVED, that universities “open the books” to share full
information with the faculty on the state of university
finances; and be it further
RESOLVED, that university boards of trustees establish
meaningful governance structures for trustee-faculty
communication about fiscal and academic matters not
covered by collective bargaining agreements; and be it
further
RESOLVED, that university officers indicate publicly what
cost-saving measures will be taken vis-à-vis
administrative structures that have expanded dramatically
in recent years; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the current economic crisis should not be
used as a pretext to reduce retiree benefits or to lessen
the rights and worsen the working conditions of contingent
and contractual labor; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the current economic crisis should not used
as a pretext to reduce access to students from
historically underrepresented groups through the
diminution or elimination of financial aid/access
programs; and be it further
RESOLVED, that academic institutions must protect
initiatives designed to develop, hire, mentor and retain
faculty and professionals from historically
underrepresented groups; and be it further
RESOLVED, and that students should not bear the brunt of
the current economic crisis through increased tuition and
class size and reduced resources.
