The Daily Egyptian: University, faculty reach settlement

The university and the SIUC Faculty Association have reached a settlement agreeing that faculty members should be able to express concerns about colleagues without fear of retribution.

The agreement comes in response to a two-year-long dispute among faculty members in the College of Mass Communications and Media Arts. Faculty members said they were upset when their complaints about former MCMA Dean Manjunath Pendakur were made public and they were subsequently ostracized.

Faculty Association President Marvin Zeman said the settlement clarifies a principle he believes is important to workplace relations.
