- Rutgers University’s unionized faculty want administration to stop ‘unnecessary’ hiring freeze
Rutgers University faculty unions are urging the administration to reverse a hiring freeze, arguing it harms education, research, and student progress. Unions claim the freeze will force full-time faculty to absorb adjunct workloads, limit new hires in critical fields, and reduce course offerings, delaying graduation. University President William Tate stated exceptions for critical positions will be reviewed, and ongoing faculty searches will continue.
