The 14 chapter presidents for APSCUF unanimously voted to pass the framework for a new faculty contract last week.

Negotiators from the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculty (APSCUF) and from the Pennsylvania Association of State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) worked on the contract over two days of negotiations and came to a consensus for a framework, which will be similar to those that Governor Tom Corbett settled with other Pennsylvania state unions.

According to press manager of PASSHE, Kenn Marshall, the part of the contract that mirrors the other state union contracts is the increase in pay rate.
