EUGENE, Or. — Hours before the first day of the spring term, the University of Oregon reached a tentative agreement with the union representing more than 1,700 faculty members who were prepared to strike on Monday.
In a Facebook post, the United Academics of the University of Oregon announced the agreement at 8 p.m. Sunday.
"The strike will be paused while our Tentative Agreement goes out to UA's full membership for a ratification vote," the union's statement read. "Union members have the ultimate decision-making power over whether we accept this Tentative Agreement."
