No new agreement was reached after a three-day negotiation session between the State System of Higher Education and the union representing its teachers.
A lot of topics were discussed in the negotiation session that wrapped up yesterday. Among the topics both sides discussed were department chairs, retrenchment, issues at consolidated universities, student feedback, salary scales, tenure, the grievance process and faculty safety.
The current four-year contract expired June 30th, but the faculty has continued to work under the terms of the old contract while negotiations continue. Negotiators have not yet set a date by which they expect to complete contract talks. The teams are slated to return to the bargaining table on September 7th.
