Faculty Members at Nevada State University have voted to join the Nevada Faculty Alliance, an Affiliate of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and American Federation of Teachers (AFT). The Academic Workers voted to organize with a landslide vote of 104-to-8. This is the fourth Chapter of the Nevada Faculty Alliance. Having prevailed through the election process, Faculty are now eagerly turning their attention toward bargaining a fair and empowering contract. “This work could not have been done without the countless hours of organizing, research and outreach executed by faculty on our Collective Bargaining Organizing Committee,” said Andrew Lavengood-Ryan, a Lecturer of Mathematics in the Department of Data, Media and Design. “I have had the distinct pleasure of working with and leading some of the most incredible people at Nevada State over the past year and half and it is so fulfilling to see all of that work come together. We look forward to negotiating with (the) Administration directly for a fair, collaborative contract that protects Faculty needs.”
