We the undersigned students and faculty are concerned about the recent unionization of our adjunct faculty. Not only will this action raise costs to students through increased tuition, it infringes on the right to work of individual adjunct faculty who will be priced out of the market. AU prides itself on having many unique adjunct faculty members who are professionals in other fields and come to AU to bring real world experience to students. This is an amazing advantage that AU students have and we don't want to lose this. Finally, with only 23% of faculty voting in favor of unionization we feel this vote does not accurately reflect the will of the faculty and think some sort of follow-up is necessarily. We urge the administration to challenge this decision and to consider the concerns of students and those faculty who did not vote or voted no. We also ask the administration to consider opening the issue to a town hall style meeting to hear the concerns that many students have.
I have been hearing from so many students who are worried about their tuition costs and I honestly keep thinking about how the administration has just been silent on this whole thing like they hope we will just go away. It is frustrating because those professionals teaching our classes are the main reason I am even here at this school and losing them seems like such a massive mistake that we can not just ignore.

that vote count was a joke. barely anyone showed up. they need to hold another vote so everyone gets a real say in what happens.
