On Tuesday night, the Rutgers American Association of University Professors and American Federation of Teachers (AAUP-AFT), the Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union (PTLFC) and the American Association of University Professors at the Biomedical and Health Sciences of New Jersey (AAUP-BHSNJ) hosted "The RU Budget Screw: How the Rutgers Budget System Shortchanges Us All," a town hall event to discuss disparities and doubt around the University's fiscal year budget. Michelle Gittelman, an associate professor in the Department of Management and Global Business and chair of the Budget and Priorities Committee of Rutgers AAUP-AFT, and other union leaders gave insights on financial details University President Jonathan Holloway shared at his third annual budget address in February.
