Contract talks continuing
Today, members of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) are meeting with members of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) to continue contract negotiations for professors and coaches at all of Pennsylvania's 14 state schools.
Contracts are set to expire on June 30. Tony Zumpetta, a sociology professor at WCU and a local spokesperson for APSCUF, said earlier in the week that if there is a strike, the walk-out is scheduled for Monday, July 2.
Previous times, the faculty has not gone on strike and settlements came at the last minute. At issue are benefits, salaries, raises and benefits for domestic parnters.
But of course, there is also the possibility it can happen this time. If it does, what impact will that have on students at WCU and other state colleges across the state? Will classes be cancelled? Will credits be lost? We'll see what happens come June 30.
