AAUP Negotiations Update for July 6, 2018

The third and fourth bargaining sessions for a new AAUP Unit 1 contract took place on July 5 and July 6. The two sessions lasted a total of four hours.

The Faculty and Administration teams exchanged, clarified, and discussed several proposals dealing with economic as well as non-economic issues.

The Faculty Team said the tone of the bargaining sessions continues to be collaborative.

Faculty Team Member Jason Caudill said, “Both teams are trying to find creative solutions to the challenges that are facing the College, and we’re talking candidly about how to move forward in the future.”

The Faculty Team appreciates the ongoing work of the Faculty Support & Sustenance Committee, and thanks Claudia Miller, Scott Horn, and Peggy Rolfsen for this week’s contributions!

The next bargaining sessions are scheduled for July 12 and 13.
