This is such a busy time of the term so this message will be precise yet please check out the three important points below:
1) GTFF at U of O went on strike this morning. PSU-AAUP stands in solidarity with the GTFF and I have been in communication with Joe Henry, their President. Jose Padin and others are in Eugene today to walk the picket line with our brothers and sisters.
Here is a news flash from the Eugene Register Guard
2) The Special Committee on Campus Public Safety did not come to a resolution at the last meeting on November 24. It seems that they were trounced with the public comment time that was overwhelmingly opposed to an armed police force. After 90 minutes of presentation by administration, public comments were held to two minutes each. After this time, the administrators got 5 more minutes each to continue justification of an armed police force on this campus.
PLEASE NOTE: The Special Committee on Campus Public Safety will have a meeting on Wednesday, December 3 from 9 to 10 at University Place, Wahkeena Falls Room. The agenda is not available at this time and will be here when posted.
3) There will be a non-contractual grievance hearing concerning Library faculty on Friday, December 5 that begins at 2:30 in Market Center Building, room 650.
Take care everyone. As always, more soon.
Pam Miller
PSU-AAUP President
