Colleagues:
Welcome back for another interesting semester of work at MC. I hope that all of you are healthy and that you were able to get some much needed rest over the holiday break.
I am writing to remind all of you that on Tuesday morning, January 19, we will be holding a virtual faculty meeting for all full-time faculty members who are members of the bargaining unit. Department Chairs, one-semester temporary faculty, and faculty whose positions are grant funded are not part of the bargaining unit. You do not have to be a member of the AAUP Chapter in order to attend this meeting.
On behalf of the AAUP Chapter, an e-mail with a Zoom link was sent to you earlier today from Julie Levinson. This is your invitation to attend the meeting. At the meeting we will provide you with information about negotiations that occurred this past fall, we will hold a vote on the tentative agreement that was reached, we will discuss the Contract 101 sessions we offered last semester, and we will talk about our upcoming Contract 101 sessions and more. We will also take some time to hear your comments, concerns, and questions.
Last fall 300 faculty members attended our opening meeting. Thanks to Julie Levinson’s advocacy and hard work, this semester we have been allowed to increase the number of faculty members who can attend our Zoom meeting from 300-500. We hope that a large number of you will take the time to participate in the meeting next week. Again, we will allow ample time for you to express your opinions and concerns about issues that are important to you and your colleagues.
The meeting will begin at 11:15 but we will open up the Zoom room around 11:00am.
I look forward to seeing many of you at the meeting.
On behalf of the Chapter,
Harry Z.
