Vision

We, the United Academics of UNM, strive to empower teaching and research faculty at the University of New Mexico. Faculty working conditions have a direct impact on student learning conditions and, as those entrusted with the research and teaching mission of the university, faculty need a strong voice in decisions concerning UNM’s future.

By building our union for faculty voice, we are working to ensure that the university honors its commitment to the diverse communities we serve.

Together, our pursuit of collective bargaining and a seat at the table is aimed to:

Ensure shared governance and transparency in decision making
Provide a fair and equitable workplace and learning environment
Establish a fair process to address compensation, benefits, and grievance procedures
Protect academic freedom, open inquiry, and free speech
Foster diversity and serve vulnerable populations
Recruit and retain outstanding faculty

Through a united commitment to workplace protections, we can safeguard the promise of our university for the public good.
