The Non-Tenure Faculty Coalition, #6546 (AFT/IFT, AAUP) represents specialized faculty at UIUC. Our unit is made up of teaching, research, and clinical faculty.

The Non-Tenure Faculty Coalition (NTFC), Local #6546 (AFT/IFT, AAUP) is a IELRB-certified union, representing about 500 non-tenure-track faculty at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. NTFC is a legally distinct organization from the historic Campus Faculty Association (https://www.facebook.com/CampusFacultyAssociation), with its own constitution, elected officers, and finances. The two organizations co-operate closely due to their common interests and history.

👏 Another win for our members!

A unit recently attempted to non-reappoint a member without providing the contractually guaranteed grace year they are entitled to.

Thanks to the work of our Grievance Committee, the issue was addressed and corrected — and the member has now received a revised notice that properly includes their grace year.

This is a powerful reminder that our contract works when we enforce it. When members speak up and we stand together, we protect fairness, transparency, and job security.

Thank you to our members for your dedication to defending our members and holding units accountable! 💪

As the academic year ends, we’re reflecting on what collective action makes possible:

Thank you to every member who organized, spoke up, and supported one another this year.
