A three-day faculty strike occurred across the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) from Oct. 19-21. The strike resulted from a showdown between PASSHE and the Association of Pennsylvania State College Union Faculties (APSCUF).

APSCUF announced that faculty members and coaches state-wide will vote on whether or not to ratify their respected tentative contract agreements in the period from Dec. 5-7.

APSCUF coaches recently followed in the faculty union’s footsteps, when they reached a tentative contract with PASSHE on Oct. 27.

More than two weeks after the faculty union strike, life at the 14 Pennsylvania state system universities has mostly returned to normal.

On Wednesday, Oct. 26, students, along with a handful of faculty members, gathered together to voice their opinions about the faculty strike that occurred at the 14 Pennsylvania state universities from Oct. 19-21.

Since the end of the state-wide faculty union strike, life at the 14 Pennsylvania state system universities has returned to normal, with the exception of students having to make up class time that was lost during the three-day strike.

A state-wide faculty union strike came to an end on Oct. 21, when a tentative agreement was reached between the APSCUF and PASSHE.

Last week, ASPCUF held a three day strike, which sparked a noticeable support from students, some joining the picket line at its beginnings on Oct. 19 at 5 a.m.
