GSOC Support

Faculty Democracy is a group of over 240 NYU Faculty. We formed in
2005 when NYU's University Leadership Team (ULT) made the decision
not to renew its contract with GSOC, the official graduate student
union. President John Sexton and the university administration made
this decision without consulting or acknowledging faculty opinion in
any meaningful fashion. We believe that such blatant disregard of
faculty in university governance tarnishes the good name of NYU and
undermines the quality of the educational experience we provide.
Faculty Democracy believes that it is time for a change. We are
committed to transforming the currently token form of shared
governance at NYU into a genuinely democratic process of
institutional decision-making in which all voices are heard and all
opinions counted.
