Inside UMB-FSU

5/23/2022

Greetings, colleagues!

This final Point of the year is co-authored by outgoing President Steve Striffler, incoming President Caroline Coscia, and incoming Vice President Jeff Melnick.  As we shuffle the seats a bit as the semester ends, we remain clear that the real work of the union is carried out by all of you, every day, in your various roles educating, mentoring, and supporting our students during a truly unprecedented time.

Dear FSU Members,

The below response is from the Executive Committees of both the CLA Senate and the FSU, as well as the outgoing Chair of the Faculty Council.

Dear FSU Members,

As part of the contract negotiated by the FSU and UMB administration, the university agreed to establish a “$25,000 pool of funding in each year [of the contract that] shall be allocated to and distributed by the Provost’s office in consultation with the FSU to support anti-racism activities for faculty and librarians.”

Dear Faculty,

In last week’s Labor Management meeting (FSU leadership, Provost's office and HR Labor Relations) we discussed summer enrollment--specifically the low enrollments for face-to-face classes.  Many face-to-face class enrollments are at ten percent of capacity. In contrast, many remote or on-line classes are full or close to being full. The deadline to reach the required twelve students for Summer One is nearing: it is May 23^rd.
