Dear FSU Members,

To follow up on the below email, we wanted to send you the proposed/tentative agreement that we will be discussing on Thursday (see attached).  It was written by the Administration to reflect the agreement we discussed in last bargaining session.   See you Thursday! (please note that the meeting date was incorrectly listed as 6/26 in our previous email).

Dear Colleague,

As UMB prepares for the 2020-2021 academic year, the FSU Core Bargaining Team (CBT) is concerned about your safety. We need you to assist us by completing this brief survey related to COVID-19 risk factors for you and your household. All data will be aggregated and used to help the CBT better understand and advocate for our members’ health and safety needs.

The survey will be open from June 16th to June 23^nd (5PM). 

Contact the FSU office for the link.

Thank you for your assistance,

Greetings, Colleagues.

Cognitive Dissonance: Last Monday afternoon I found myself in a strange place, toggling between two different meetings on zoom at the same time.  One was the weekly meeting at of the Academic Continuity Task Force, on which I serve as the faculty representative from CLA.  In this group, meant to represent the entire UMB community, we warmly treat each other as colleagues working on a shared mission: we have even begun sharing ideas and documents on (Microsoft) Teams!
