• "President's Message" by Dr. Wright (some thoughts on how recent moves by the university have made the faculty less unified and not involved in "shared governance")

United Faculty of Saint Leo University

Welcome to the webpage of the United Faculty of Saint Leo University. We are a chapter of the United Faculty of Florida (UFF). Our union was founded in 1976 and since that time we have participated in the shared goverance of our university with its administration.

Recently, the school's Board of Trustees has voted to stop recognizing our union as the body representing our faculty's interests at the university. The school claims that they have a vision for a "new shared governance" but have done so without consulting the faculty.

Our union is strong and we are contesting this decision. Would you please consider supporting us in our efforts? Please see more about the support from the education community.

How you can help?

• sign our petition at change.org.
  More information about the petition can also be found at the UFF website.

• If you would like to sign the petition above (it's free!), please also leave comments along with your support of the petititon.

• If you are a faculty member, Become a union member!

  We stand for you! We are many and we are strong. Individually, we can be singled out. As a group, we thrive and help to protect the careers and interests of our members. All of this contributes to a more healthy environment where we can better support and serve the students at our school.
