NYU Non-Tenure-Track Faculty Strike Ends as Union Wins Raises and Job Security

NYU reached a tentative five-year contract with about 950 non-tenure-track faculty represented by CFU-UAW, ending a strike that began earlier this week. The deal includes minimum raises of $14,000 by the next academic year, with 95% of members projected to earn more than $100,000, and 3.5% annual raises retroactive to September 2025. It also addresses salary compression and includes guardrails on AI use and academic freedom, pending ratification by union members.
