Membership Info

The Faculty Staff Union is funded almost entirely through members’ dues. We strongly encourage all faculty and librarians to join the FSU, and the vast majority have.

Welcome to the FSU: An introduction to your union by President Jason Rodriquez and Vice President Jessica Holden.

Compare membership and non-membership status to see why the vast majority of faculty and librarians are full dues-paying members of the FSU.

Dues are deducted once a month, usually in the second pay period, between September and June. Contact the FSU office for membership and payroll deduction authorization forms. 

See the dues rates for 26-27.

Fill out a union membership form (contact the FSU for help completing the form; forms should be mailed to the union office or emailed to the FSU)

Your payments to the FSU may be tax-deductible; contact your tax professional for advice.
