Dear FSU Members,

Are you interested in becoming more involved in the FSU and bargaining?  Yes….you say?

Greetings, Colleagues!

As we move into our third week of classes, I hope you are healthy and finding ways to be engaged with your students, your faculty and staff colleagues, and your own scholarly and community-based work. 

My title for this week is likely going to be a little puzzling to some of you but I promise to explain it in just a minute.  It was inspired by the growing body of comments I’ve encountered since semester began that basically boil down to: “we’re not really back to normal are we?”

Hello members,

The union parking bargaining coalition (Classified Staff Union, Department Chairs Union, Faculty Staff Union, and Professional Staff Union) continues to meet with the administration to bargain over parking. While we still do not have a response to any of the proposals we have made to implement a more fair, affordable, and equitable parking system, the University administration has moved forward with the new parking system they chose for us and was not bargained over.

Dear FSU members,

You no doubt saw the university's latest email regarding parking today, stating that you must apply for your semester parking pass by tomorrow (September 1st) or the pass will not activate before the September 7th start of classes. The email also states that if you apply for your pass after September 1st, your pass may take four days to activate and you will have to pay the daily rate for parking in the meantime.

Dear FSU Members,

With the recent surge of the Delta variant, the FSU would like to know how faculty/librarians feel about the Fall reopening, particularly around the possibility of expanding the amount of remote classes being offered.

The survey takes less than 2 minutes.  Don’t wait!

 (contact FSU or Steve Striffler for survey link information).

Steve Striffler,

FSI President
