Members of the Teachers Union of Ireland at Waterford IT have overwhelmingly accepted proposals to allow the next step in the bid for a technological university however IT Carlow have rejected it.
The WIT branch endorsed the proposed Memorandum of Understanding with management by 92.7% but the IT Carlow Branch rejected it by 60%.
The Memorandum was agreed last week between both ITs and the Teachers Union of Ireland.
