The Sentinel: Shippensburg University faculty packs
Shippensburg University’s faculty will be on the go Monday – moving out of their campus offices in preparation for a strike that could come as early as July 2.
Faculty at SU and 13 other state universities in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education have already authorized leaders of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties union to call a strike if there is no new contract by June 30, when the existing four-year agreement expires.
Kent Chrisman of the SU APSCUF committee says a move from campus offices is a logical step.
“The rationale is that we are preparing for a job action July 2,” he says. “When you strike, you don’t come to work, so the faculty will take anything that is theirs, especially ‘intellectual property’ like grade sheets, books, articles they’ve written, manuscripts and research notes.”
