The final vote was 143 to 136. Opponents of the union said they believe a University Senate is more beneficial to faculty, and that a union only distracts faculty from their other responsibilities.- I Supporters said they think the AAUP gives a stronger voice to faculty members. The AAUP was initiated at Michigan Tech in September 2004 with a 152 to 134 vote. Two decertification petitions disrupted contract negotiations since they began in 2005. The union must wait a year before it can try to be recertified.
