We have several announcements related to the process of establishing our union as well as some information on an ongoing University Senate election in which associate researchers are eligible to participate. To become a member of the union, sign the new Local 4100 Membership Card.

ARS are eligible to vote in University Senate Elections, ending 8/18, 12am:

We want to remind Associate Research Scientists and Scholars that there is a Columbia University Senate election taking place for a seat that Associate Research Scientists/Scholars are eligible to vote for. The election will end Aug 18 at 12:00am (Monday midnight). As a union, it is possible for us to work with the Senate on issues that are important to our community, such as bullying, housing, and other important topics, so we encourage eligible voters to participate.
