The agreement was reached on February 23, 2026 with the assistance of a mediator. The two parties have met 35 times since negotiations began in June 2025.

The tentative deal will be reviewed for ratification by the university’s Board of Governors and CTF members. Both parties have agreed to recommend ratification of the tentative agreement. The details of the tentative agreement are confidential until both parties ratify.

The university is grateful to both bargaining teams for the commitment, hard work and goodwill that went into reaching an agreement that each are pleased to recommend.
