Part-Time Faculty at New School End Strike After Winning First Raises in 4 Years
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York City, part-time faculty members at The New School have
ended their nearly month-long strike after reaching a tentative deal
including the first pay raise in four years and improved healthcare
benefits. The strike brought The New School to a standstill as the vast
majority of its faculty is made up of adjuncts. Last week, dozens of
students started occupying a university building in solidarity with the
strike, and parents threatened to sue The New School.
