MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (AP) — The union representing faculty
at Central Michigan University has rejected contract terms offered by
the school’s administration.
The Saginaw News reports that Faculty Association President Laura Frey said Friday that the contract is
unacceptable.
The Mount Pleasant school said in a release that the contract terms accepted recommendations from an
independent fact finder.
Both
sides received the fact finder’s non-binding report last week. The
report reviewed issues that included salary adjustments and health care
benefits. The fact finder recommended the university’s proposal on both
of those issues.
Professors went on strike for most of Aug. 22,
the first day of classes for the fall semester. A judge ordered them
back to work but they are still allowed to demonstrate.
The faculty group says its previous contract expired June 30.
