Dear Colleagues,

We wanted to provide an update on our first session with the faculty bargaining team and SEIU Local 1021. 

Our initial session was respectful and productive. During the meeting, participants introduced themselves and discussed the bargaining process. There was general agreement on the manner in which the group would proceed. The faculty bargaining team then presented a number of initial proposals for consideration. We will review these proposals and provide feedback at the next meeting.

Our next bargaining session is scheduled for February 9, 2023, at 10:00 am. The Provost’s Office will provide up-to-date information and resources regarding efforts to reach a mutually agreeable contract on our bargaining website.

Sincerely,

Kate Morris and Ed Ryan 
Acting Provosts
