Update on Important NTT Matters

 

7/20/16

Dear Colleagues,

Hope you all are enjoying the summer. Here is an update on what is going on:

NTT Contract Conversion Update

7/19/16

(See here for more on the NTT contract conversion, including prior updates).

Update on FSU Grievance Matters

7/19/16 

(See here for more on grievances, including prior updates).

Due Process Violation in Title IX Investigation

Urgent message to your legislator or your health care cost share will increase

Dear Colleague,

I hope you are having a great summer.  Two urgent issues require your attention:

1. Governor Charlie Baker has vetoed $412 million from the fiscal 2017 budget passed by the Legislature. These vetoes have serious repercussions for MTA members, including a potential increase in your health care cost share from 20% to 25% (if you are now paying 20%, your share will increase to 25%).  Other educational funding has been cut as well for non-faculty members. 

Out of Reach College Affordability

See this study by Demos on the college affordability crisis, particularly as it impacts low income and minority students.
