The Union of Non-Tenure-Track Faculty (UNTF) at Michigan State University, a member of American Federation of Teachers and one of nineteen AFT higher education unions in Michigan, was founded in 2010. We are an inclusive community of professional teachers known for our pedagogical excellence, commitment to students, and support of underrepresented groups across the MSU campus.
We envision a professional world at Michigan State University in which faculty in all systems and ranks are treated equitably.
We unite non-tenured faculty through collective bargaining and political action in order to build economic, professional, social, and political power in service of our vision.
