March 27, 2025
In our inaugural meeting on Thursday, March 27, the AAUP-UNH presented our opening statement, which shared our members’ values and our team’s approach to these negotiations.
The meeting began with introductions around the table (negotiating teams for both parties, including AAUP-UNH member observers). Then, after orally presenting our opening statement, we invited the administration to share their values and priorities for these negotiations.
Among other things, the administration indicated a desire to complete negotiations quickly and emphasized the need to clearly communicate the strategic goals of the university.
Since the administration has yet to share a strategic plan or the next fiscal year’s budget, we are still awaiting such communications.
The AAUP-UNH negotiating team looks forward to transparent communications and shared efforts as we work toward a contract that values faculty as the heart of curricular and research innovation, recognizes faculty as integral to the long-term goals of UNH, prioritizes the role of faculty in shaping and maintaining the UNH student experience, and demonstrates a commitment to faculty through strategic decision-making in faculty recruitment and retention.
We will continue to post updates to this website as negotiations continue.
