Eastern Michigan University and its faculty union reached a tentative agreement Tuesday to give faculty a pay raise of 3 percent in two years.

The agreement includes a two-year contract, and the union will have a ratification vote Sept. 10 that will also have to be approved by the Board of Regents. If approved, the contract would give the faculty a pay raise of 1 percent in the first year and a 2 percent increase in the second.
