Dear Tenured FSU Member,    

The deadline for submitting nominations for the vacant Tenured faculty member representative on the FSU Executive Committee has been extended to Monday, October 5^th at 5PM EDT.  

The vacancy is a result of a resignation and to make sure tenured faculty have the full complement of four representatives, a special election is being held to fill the seat. The term of office begins once election results are posted and ends May 2022. 

Attached is the Nomination Form.

Dear FSU Members,

The FSU Executive Committee will be meeting TODAY from 4-5:30 pm.

These meetings are open to all members (contact the FSU or Steve Striffler for Zoom info).

The meetings tend to be a mix of routine, keep-the-trains-running, agenda items along with more substantive discussion about the larger issues facing faculty and librarians.   This week we will be talking about FSU Forums, outreach to members, merit pay, and other issues.

Dear FSU Members,

As part of the FSU’s commitment to expanded bargaining (see the FSU policy here), we invite you – as members of the FSU bargaining team – to our next bargaining session on Sept 30^th from 1pm to 3pm, where we expect to hear Admin proposals around furloughs (i.e., pay cuts), course capacity, distance learning, and parking (i.e., lower rates? lol).

Dear FSU Members,

Following up from the below email from last week, the FSU writes to remind members of the meeting tomorrow to discuss the attached report, the steps taken so far, and those that still need to be taken, in order for the FSU to address issues of racial justice for faculty on our campus.  This meeting will take place on: Wednesday September 23, from 9:30 to 11:00. 

Contact the FSU or Steve Striffler for Zoom info.
