The new contract allows them to speak freely on all matters of university governance without the fear for their job. If you go downtown and march against the war in Iraq, the university can't fire you. |
We can attract a better faculty now. Those coming out of graduate school looking for jobs but who may be thinking of having children will be attracted to this place. FIU is the first university in the state to agree to such a policy. It's maybe the best policy in the country. |
We hope now we've re-established the sense of cooperation that has always prevailed here. |
