Welcome
Florida SouthWestern State College Faculty Federation represents the faculty at Florida SouthWesternState college. We are here to assist, advise and support you. Our website has been revamped and includes valuable information about our organization. Please take a few minutes to browse the site.
Purpose
In our profession, there are many things we can accomplish as individuals: completing advanced degrees, writing lectures, teaching courses, advising students, doing research, writing scholarly articles and books.
However, there are others we cannot accomplish alone, such as working to improve state funding for increased faculty salaries and benefits, working to improve the faculty's role in decision-making on contractual issues, assisting in negotiation of collective bargaining contracts, protecting academic freedom and tenure, defending faculty rights, influencing the formulation of policy by the governing boards, working for legislation to improve the quality of education in our colleges and universities, and advancing academic excellence. Class load, equipment, salaries, professional advancement, instructional resources are all decisions that affect higher education faculty and are either a bargaining issue or a political decision and involves FSWFF.
In the political arena, UFF and its affiliates advocate the interests of all UFF constituents before the Florida Legislature and education agencies.
Mission Statement
FSW-FF is committed to working with the faculty and administration of the college to secure the best working conditions for the bargaining unit. The Union is committed to raising the standards of the teaching profession by securing the conditions essential to the best professional service.
