Central Michigan University's faculty cleared the way to go on strike during a closed-door meeting Monday evening, giving the union's bargaining team the power to call a strike at any time.

The faculty union voted to approve "any and all job actions necessary to cause the administration to bargain in good faith," a news release said.

Ninety-seven percent of the faculty who attended a standing-room-only meeting in a Mt. Pleasant hotel's conference center approved the move.
