Illinois Universities Reach Resolutions Amidst Faculty Strikes
The faculty union at Eastern Illinois University has suspended its strike, and classes will resume on April 14. The union announced its decision to pause while officially considering the administration’s offer. All members will vote to ratify the agreement sometime next week, but a date has not been set. The absence of a provision to do work missed during the strike made it a difficult choice, but the union hopes for a quick resolution so it doesn’t postpone the ratification vote.
