MARQUETTE, MI— Faculty at Northern Michigan University are getting raises in the next two fiscal years.
In November 2021, NMU reopened wage negotiations for the fiscal year 2024-25 with the AAUP/AFT union. It gives about 400 faculty members a 6.25-percent wage increase beginning July 1st, and a 2.75-percent hike starting July 1st of 2025. They replace the 2.25-percent increases originally negotiated.
Union members ratified the agreement on Thursday. The NMU Board of Trustees approved it Friday in a special meeting.
