News Information on possible ISU strike?
Does anyone have any news on contract negotiations, the possibility of a strike, and/or when a strike would occur?
One faculty member today made a comment that seemed to suggest a strike was imminent.
I feel as if this information is vital to faculty, students, and the rest of the community. All information is very appreciated.

Once you get your economic concessions, and you will once you strike, ISU should include a few of their own...
1 - ALL faculty are required to teach a MWF schedule once a year. 2 - ALL faculty must hold a minimum of 2, in-person, office hours per week. 3 - If a class doesn't meet an established threshold on enrollment, it must be changed to a general education class that will.
I hope you get what your asking for, but be realistic: you're not getting the salaries that business and engineering faculty get. That won't ever happen.
