I just voted YES on our tentative agreement and my heart is full. It has been a very tough battle at Rutgers, but this is one of the most important days of my life.

Securing a larger appropriation from the state of NJ and using it to nearly double the pay for adjunct lecturers and 33 percent for grads means the world to me.
