YSU WOES

[AllanY2525]

Has the university started the renovations at the Porter Pollock mansion yet?  If not,
maybe they could put them off a while longer and use the money for something more
important (?)

Well then the trustees have to give a little.  The union has already started off by accepting the act finders report which calls for concessions by the union.  The trustees unanimously voted against the report.

Maybe Cynthia Anderson could give back that cost of living increase she just got.

A federal mediator who sat in on contract talks last spring between Youngstown State University and its faculty union is reportedly willing to help the two sides reach an agreement, thereby avoiding labor strife. There can be no doubt that a strike in the midst of a national recession would cause permanent damage to the university's fiscal well-being and would bring unwanted attention from the Ohio Board of Regents and the administration of Republican Gov. John Kasich.

Youngstown State University cannot afford faculty strike
