We are very pleased to share that the University has reached a tentative agreement with the faculty union in our first collective bargaining agreement. The University values our faculty and their countless contributions to our Pitt community and this agreement demonstrates the University’s significant investment in our faculty — while adhering to our commitments to access and affordability for students and to providing a high-quality, world-class education. We are exceptionally proud of the efforts invested on behalf of both the union and the administration to reach an agreement. The union will now present the tentative agreement to its membership for ratification. We look forward to building upon the collaborative relationship established during negotiations.
