Part-Time Faculty United

The PTFU continuously works toward our mission and commitment of addressing matters that directly impact both individual and collective areas of concern to URI/Part-Time Faculty. The PTFU goals include giving a voice to URI’s Part-Time Faculty, empowering them as equal members of URI’s teaching community, ensuring that members’ rights and entitlements gained from collective bargaining negotiations are respected and enforced. We will continuously work towards enhancing the work experience and environment for the Part-Time Faculty and continue to seek employment necessities, salary, equity and time in service rights. We strive to achieve these goals by leading and growing a sustainable and unified union group with a view towards advancing the status of URI’s Part-Time Faculty.
