United University Professions, the union representing SUNY faculty members, has started negotiations with SUNY and Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office regarding a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for faculty.
UB’s campus governance organizations and unions passed a resolution addressed to President Satish Tripathi on Jan. 26 calling on UB to “provide a N95, KF94 and/or KN95 mask to each of its employees” and make said masks available to the university community “for no cost/nominal cost.”
