To: Tenure Track Faculty
Dear Colleagues:
Today I provided updates to the academic appointees whom we had previously contacted concerning the petition that the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has filed to represent part-time and full-time non-tenure-track academic appointees who teach at the University. See below for my full message to those who are eligible to vote in the upcoming election.
To: Excluded Non Tenure Track Faculty
Dear Colleagues:
I am writing to inform you that you are now among the academic appointees who have been excluded from the petition that the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has filed to represent part-time and full-time non-tenure-track academic appointees who teach at the University.
This means you will not be eligible to vote in the upcoming union representation election, and you will not be represented by SEIU, regardless of the outcome of the election.
To: Tenure Track Faculty
Dear Colleagues:
Today I wrote to part-time and full-time non-tenure-track academic appointees who teach courses at the University to officially inform them that the Service Employees International Union has filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board seeking to represent these appointees. To keep you apprised on this issue, I have included below the communications that I sent today to these colleagues.

Subject: Protest and Free Expression
Date: June 7, 2015
Within the past week, two protests on campus have violated the University’s long-standing commitment to free expression, as expressed over the years by multiple faculty committees and reports, most recently in the Report of the Committee on Freedom of Expression. We write to reaffirm these principles in the context of these recent events.

Over the past several years, the University has focused on developing new resources for graduate education, and I am pleased today to announce the next phase of these efforts: UChicagoGRAD, a new office and comprehensive program designed to make resources for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars more accessible and more effective.
