SIUE and Faculty Association Reach Agreement
SIUE and its Faculty Association (FA), an affiliate of the IEA/NEA (Illinois Education Association/National Education Association), have reached a collective bargaining agreement covering the period July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2022. The pact has been fully ratified and approved.
“I want to thank the administrative and faculty negotiating team members and all who contributed to the successful agreement,” said SIUE Chancellor Randy Pembrook. “SIUE’s national reputation rests upon the excellent level of instruction provided by our faculty, as well as the research and artistic activity they contribute to their disciplines. The environment created at SIUE has prepared so many students for career success and will continue to do so.”
The contract applies to the tenured and tenure-track faculty in Library and Information Services, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Schools of Business, Engineering, Nursing, and Education, Health and Human Behavior. The contract provides a new framework for most employment issues, such as hours, wages, and terms and conditions of employment. However, it does not address every aspect of a faculty member’s professional life, including curricular issues, such as academic programs and courses.
“With this historic, first comprehensive union contract now in place, the SIUE Faculty Association and the SIUE administration start a new chapter of cooperation, with both parties beginning to implement the new, mutually agreed-upon policies,” said FA President Kim Archer, DMA, professor of music. “During the next year, the College, Schools and their respective departments will be updating operating papers and ways of doing business to align with the contract.”
