The Hofstra chapter of university professors have voted to ratify their new contract with the administration.

The union told News 12 it agreed on wage increased between 3% and 3 1/2 % for the next four years.

The union previously threatened to strike during the first week of classes in a bid to get higher raises and improved health care.

Constructive last-minute talks helped prevent a walkout within 24 hours of the deadline.

Hofstra President Susan Poser provided News 12 with the following statement:

“We are pleased that the University and the AAUP Faculty Union have reached a new five-year agreement. We thank both bargaining teams for their work throughout this process and look forward to moving ahead together with a shared focus on Hofstra students and the university’s future.”
