Ninth Master Agreement between the University of the District of Columbia and the University of the District of Columbia Faculty Association/National Education Association Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This bill is an emergency resolution to approve the Ninth Master Agreement between the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) and its faculty union (UDC Faculty Association/NEA). It directly affects UDC faculty covered by the agreement, providing a new salary structure for Fiscal Year 2025, a 3% cost-of-living adjustment, catch-up payments for promotions from 2022-2024, and service-based pay increases. The resolution declares an emergency to fast-track approval of these compensation terms, which UDC claims are necessary to retain and attract faculty in a competitive higher education market. The agreement itself covers the period October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2025.
