Faculty protest outside new building dedication

SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A new building is now dedicated and blessed at the University of Scranton.

Weiss Hall, named after Robert and Marilyn Weiss, is the university's center for workforce development, applied research, and outreach.

A crowd gathered inside the building for remarks and tours on Wednesday, but the event was shadowed a bit, as about 50 faculty members stood outside Weiss Hall protesting with signs that read "Fair faculty contract now."
