UW president has reservations over drive to unionize faculty
A group of University of Washington professors is leading an effort to unionize the university鈥檚 faculty, but UW Interim President Ana Mari Cauce says she has 鈥済rave reservations鈥 because she believes it would undermine the relationship between faculty and administration.
Faculty organizers say their aim is to bring more pressure to bear on the Legislature to fully fund education and to empower professors to lobby lawmakers. Higher salaries and better benefits would be a secondary goal.
