Daily News | As Rutgers strike begins and classes are canceled, negotiations continue with Gov. Murphy’s oversight

for unions representing about 9,000 adjunct instructors; full-time faculty, graduate workers, postdoctoral associates and counselors; and health science faculty — a robust picket line formed outside the Campus Center at the university’s Camden campus. Their chants could be heard from inside the building and across the nearby grounds.
“We just wait,” he said. “We wait for hours at a time, and I don’t think that can happen anymore” with the governor’s office overseeing negotiations.Students at Rutgers-Camden on Monday said many if not all of their classes were canceled. From what they understood, the classes that were set to continue as scheduled were taught by non-union instructors.
“I think it’s ridiculous how little the professors are making, especially considering what they have to go through to actually get a job here in the first place,” said Arcadia Giza, a freshman animation major who went to the picket line with Shaw. Still, Giza expressed some concern that paid-for classes would not be held for a prolonged period, and wondered if the university would give refunds for that instruction.
