Akron Beacon Journal: KSU faculty rejects contract extension

Deal providing domestic partner benefits, raise of 3 percent voted down 63 percent to 37 percent

The Kent State University faculty union has voted down a one-year contract extension that would have included domestic partner benefits.

The union voted 63 percent to 37 percent against the proposal, which also would have included a 3 percent raise and maintenance of health-care costs and benefits at current levels.

Lee Fox, president of the KSU chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said many faculty wanted a higher salary increase. She declined to say how much.
