Framework for a Fair Contract
In response to events in December of 2006, the EMU-AAUP put together this document in preparation for a meeting with the administration on 4 January 2006.
AGENDA AND FRAMEWORK, EMU-AAUP
1. AAUP reconstituted Negotiating Team [more details here]
2. Breach of Confidentiality Agreement [background here]
A. Given the extensive discussions in our last meeting about confidentiality and its importance to the negotiating process, and given the EMU-AAUP’s willingness to return to the table to discuss the offer, there was no need for the administration’s unilateral decision to release the confidential offer before further discussion with the AAUP about the status of confidentiality.
Fact Finder's Report on Comparable Institutions Has Been Received
Today, at the AAUP office, we received the fact finder’s report on the comparable institutions that will be used in the remaining fact finding hearings (the full report can be viewed as a PDF attachment below).
