Once more to the bargaining table...

For those who may not have seen the latest about our "online time reporting" duty see the message below. Thanks Laurie and the UPI team for keeping on top of this.

Heavy sigh...

Dear CSU/UPI Members,

You have probably already received notices from Human Resources about online time reporting for faculty starting on Thursday; ASPs have been reporting their time online since July. We had previously agreed to having our members report leave taken, known as negative time reporting (which is what the ASPs have been doing) but the current push is for reporting of hours worked (positive time reporting) to which we have not agreed. The university administration has ignored our demand to bargain their proposed change, as well as our demand that they delay implementation of any such change until bargaining has taken place. We have contacted our legal representatives and should hear from them before Thursday; meanwhile, if you do your online time reporting before we have an answer, follow the instructions in the form but then e-mail Human Resources (rmitch26@csu.edu), copied to me (lwalter@csu.edu) saying that you filed under protest. That way, they can't use your compliance this time as a precedent for future time reporting.

If you don't know how to fill out the form, don't hesitate to let HR know that the training opportunities were insufficient.

I will let you know as soon as we have heard from the lawyers.

In solidarity,

Laurie

Laurie's message begins: "You have probably already received notices from Human Resources about online time reporting for faculty starting on Thursday"

Thanks to Haki Madhabuti

"1. He/she must be a scholar of national note, with significant peer review publications and books in his or her field. There must be no doubt as to his/her standing in the community of scholars. This would also include a history of the candidate’s participation in the appropriate professional organizations.

2. He/she must have served with distinction as the administrative head of a major unit within an institution of higher learning or at the important position of Provost and/or Dean. Of course, prior service at the presidential level is preferred.

3. He/she must have a documented history of raising significant monies from the private and public sectors. At most major and research one universities it is not unusual to expect the president to come with a plan to raise in excess of half a billion dollars or more in the first few years.

4. The prospective president must have a consensus buy-in from the faculty, students, administration and staff, therefore, arriving with a unity mandate to lead by joining a University community that has bought into his or her vision for the future."
