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 Caroline Coscia and Vice President Jason Rodriqruez.

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 or membership and payroll deduction authorization forms.
