Rutgers University Unions Secure Academic Freedom Protections for All Unit Members

Rutgers University faculty unions have reached a tentative agreement with university officials to extend academic freedom protections to all unit members, including full-time professors, part-time and adjunct faculty, librarians, clinicians, graduate student workers, and postdocs. This move, traditionally limited to tenured faculty, is hailed as a "monumental, historic win" amid increasing political scrutiny on faculty speech and curriculum.
