Faculty at Chicago State University and Governors State University are also on strike.

The Eastern Illinois University strike has been paused, as both sides have reached a tentative deal. Classes will resume Friday.Classes are set to resume Friday morning at Eastern Illinois University, after faculty and staff reached a tentative deal Thursday.

Union members called for a strike last week after a bargaining session ended with no deal. They're asking for a pay raise and have been at the table for more than a year. "Listen to this crowd and look who is here," said John Miller, president of University Professionals of Illinois - Local 4100. "Why are we out here and not teaching with our students? We are losing too many faculty and staff to out-of-state universities. What's the message when we do not compensate fairly and respectfully the faculty who do the work? It says you students do not deserve the best.

Governors State students have been paying it forward to their educators, standing in solidarity with the union.
