The collective bargaining agreement between the BGSU-Faculty Association has been overwhelmingly approved by the union membership.
A notice was sent late Friday afternoon announcing that 95 percent of those casting ballots voted in favor.
The contract calls for a 3-percent pay increase in each of the three years of the contract.
It also includes more protections for non-tenure track faculty, financial incentives for faculty who bring in grant money, and no changes in health care premiums as well as initiatives to enhance the collaboration between faculty and the administration.
If approved May 6 by the University Board of Trustees, the contract will go into effect July 1.
