Dear Members, 

Happy new academic year!  The next few days are exciting as we reconnect with colleagues, meet new colleagues, greet our students, and try to find our classrooms.   Since last semester, the plaza has added new pavers, the quad is starting to take shape and parking Lot D is back open.  

The Faculty Staff Union (FSU) is gearing up for a busy year.

Dear FSU members, 

We are pleased to inform you that your August 5, 2022, paycheck includes a refund of the dues deduction taken in error on July 22, 2022 (this applies to dues paying FSU members only).  You should see a negative number for your Boston MSP Dues in the After Tax Deductions box, located in the middle of your pay advice. 

Dues deductions occur over ten months, September to June.  We worked with both UMB and UMass System personnel to correct the error and to make sure appropriate systems are coded for ten deductions.

Dear FSU Members, 

As you know, the FSU and university administration agreed in the last round of bargaining that $25,000 would be devoted to anti-racist initiatives in both year two and three of the contract.
