Full-time, non-tenure-track faculty members at Ithaca College voted to form a union affiliated with Service Employees International Union, they announced Tuesday. Members hope to bargain collectively with part-time, non-tenure-track instructors at Ithaca who voted to unionize last year, according to information from SEIU.
The college said in a statement that it remains “committed to working in partnership with all of our faculty within a system of shared governance to best serve the educational needs of our students.” It said it will bargain in good faith with the union once the election results are certified, but it remains committed to the position that full-time, non-tenure-track faculty not be included in the same bargaining unit as part-timers, “as those groups are separate and distinct.”
