Every day, faculty members invest their time and expertise in SCU and its students. They are central to the community that makes SCU the nationally renowned institution it is. Now it’s time for SCU leadership to invest in the people who contribute so much to make that distinction possible.

Your signature adds power to our voice at the bargaining table and shows that students, staff, alums, union members, and our community stand with us.

When you sign the petition, an email is sent directly to SCU leadership, including the President and Provost. Every signature makes it harder to ignore the community’s call for respect and a critical investment in faculty.

Please show your support for SCU’s teaching faculty by signing our petition and strengthening our collective voice, and stand with SCU faculty for academic justice!

“Quality student-centered education depends on the stability and fair compensation of faculty,” said SEIU 1021 Chapter Treasurer and SCU Teaching Professor, Madeline Cronin. “We are fighting for a fair contract because we want to ensure the future of this valuable mission driven education.”

“It’s really important for universities to prioritize resources to support the reason we exist as an educational institution: to offer a transformative experience for students in every single classroom, seminar, lab, and studio. By signing this petition for a fair contract, many community voices can join together to support the hard-working teaching faculty who, along with their tenured colleagues, shape learning journeys and career outcomes for all SCU students day in and day out, ” said SCU Teaching Professor, Dept of Theatre & Dance, Kristin Kusanovich.
