According to the faculty association, a ratification vote is scheduled for early January.

The agreement’s details will not be made public until the members have voted.

At the time, the faculty association said it had been in negotiations since June and that the main unsettled issues were fair compensation, workload and support for caregivers and victims of domestic violence.
