A plea for the faculty: Maintaining our priorities during challenging budget times
UEA President: Michael Pfau
When any institution falls on hard budget times, there is inevitably a great deal of apprehension, fear and worry, and ultimately there is no escaping the need to make painful choices. When budgets contract, we will need to sacrifice some valuable programs, positions and persons. From my perspective, the question becomes one of priorities.
Proposed governance structure better represents faculty values, interests
UEA President: Michael Pfau
Members of the UMD community with institutional memories that span several decades or more tell a story that links the origin of our current governance structure to the creation of the University Education Association, our faculty union.
Future of UMD Governance hinges on March 5 vote

UEA Head Negoriator: Dave Schimpf
Chancellor Black’s e-mails on Jan. 28 and Feb. 15 announced that the Campus Assembly will vote on a proposed revision to the governance structure at its March 5 meeting (2:00 p.m., Rafters).
The proposed structure would mean that much more responsibility for educational policy is vested in our faculty. Most of us think that is how a university is supposed to work!
Safety officer offers help in maintaining a safe campus workplace

UEA Safety Officer: Steve Sternberg
Safety is one of the more important concerns you should have about your job. There are federal and state laws that set the minimum guidelines for what is a safe environment. Your union contract includes those laws, as well as a commitment from UEA and the University to maintaining a safe and healthful working environment.
Gripe vs. Grievance
While every grievance begins as a complaint, all complaints do not become grievances. In order to know what complaints can be processed as grievances, you will need to refer to the definition of a grievance in the collective bargaining agreement between the Union County College Chapter of the United Adjunct Faculty of New Jersey, Local 2222, and Union County College.
