Part-time faculty members at Wayne State University have reached a tentative agreement on their first contract with the institution, the university announced today.
The agreement, which is subject to a ratification vote by union members, calls for a salary increase of about 23 percent over the four years of the contract. The union, which won recognition last spring and is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers, has about 900 members, according to information on its Web site.
The university said it expected the new contract would be in place by the fall semester. —Charles Huckabee
