General Counsel
Collective Bargaining
Collective bargaining at Florida Poly exists to ensure that faculty and administration work together to establish fair, transparent, and clearly defined terms of employment.
Through this collaborative process between the Florida Polytechnic University Board of Trustees and the United Faculty of Florida (UFF) Florida Poly Chapter, both parties are able to protect faculty rights, support institutional goals, and create a framework that fosters academic excellence and student success.
2024–2027 Collective Bargaining Agreement
In September 2024, the Florida Polytechnic University Board of Trustees and the United Faculty of Florida (UFF) Florida Poly chapter ratified the collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which will remain in effect until August 31, 2027.
The CBA governs the terms and conditions of faculty employment by formalizing rights, responsibilities, and management procedures. Key articles define processes for:
- Faculty appointments and promotions
- Assignments of responsibility
- Performance evaluations
While the agreement is in effect, both parties meet each spring to review potential updates and negotiate amendments. Updates on negotiations, proposals, and meeting outcomes are posted on this page.

- Article 6 – Appointment and Promotion: Defines procedures for faculty appointments, reappointments, and advancement.

- Article 8 – Performance Evaluation: Outlines criteria and procedures for faculty performance reviews.
