Rutgers and Unions Reach Tentative Agreement After Historic Strike.

Rutgers University and three faculty unions have reached a tentative agreement to end the first faculty strike in the university's 257-year history. The deal includes raises and additional job security for part-time lecturers, also known as adjuncts, that union officials hope will set precedents nationally for historically underpaid instructors. The agreement is poised to officially end the strike that was unusual in uniting tenured professors with graduate workers, adjuncts, and clinicians.
