According to the tentative four-year deal brokered by Gov. Phil Murphy between Rutgers University and the unions on strike since Monday, adjunct professors will see a 43 percent pay increase and graduate worker a 33 percent bump in salary, that will be retroactive to July 2022 to when their last contract lapsed.
Citing an email sent out to students by Rutgers President, Jonathan Holloway, graduate students "would see their 10-month salaries increase to $40,000 over the course of the contract" with the minimum salary for postdoctoral fellows and associates rising by 27.9 percent, the New York Times reported.
