About Us
United Faculty of Florida (UFF) is the organization for higher education faculty and professionals in Florida. The UFF-USF-GAU is the recognized bargaining agent for Graduate Assistants (both teaching and research assistants) at the University of South Florida.
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. But there are others we cannot accomplish alone ...
Whether negotiating working salaries or terms and conditions of employment, the UFF-USF-GAU is here to represent you - the Graduate Assistants of USF. We also help insure fair and equitable treatment of all GAs and compliance with the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) through grievances and binding arbitration. The CBA establishes the rules which govern most interactions between the University and GAs.
