The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education formally approved contracts with the union representing more than 5,000 faculty members and coaches at the 14 state-owned universities.
Slippery Rock University in Butler County is one of the state schools.
The contracts signed Tuesday were already approved by the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties following the union’s first-ever strike in October.
The faculty’s agreement runs through June 2018.
