Faculty across SVA voting ‘yes’ this week!
Throughout our campaign, we have encouraged our colleagues to vote ‘yes’ in favor of collective bargaining. The SVA administration has shared their opinion and urged faculty to vote ‘no’.
We are certain about our colleagues’ ability to make the most informed decision about our own experience at SVA, which is why we openly share and encourage all faculty to review the administration perspective, as well as our analyses, and ask all faculty to vote.
If you have any questions, visit our website or reply to this email and a colleague will be in touch.
Best,
Hans Tammen, MFA Computer Arts
Lee-Sean Huang, MFA Design for Social Innovation
On behalf of SVA-FAC UAW Organizing Committee
