Detroit Free Press: Judge orders Oakland University, union back to table

An Oakland County Circuit Court judge has ordered round-the-clock negotiations between Oakland University and the American Association of University Professors.

If the sides can’t reach an agreement by 10 a.m. Thursday, Judge Edward Sosnick said, he will hold a court hearing on the university’s request for a preliminary injunction. The university has called the strike by its faculty “illegal” and said it has caused “irreparable harm” to students and parents.
