The Patriot News: Colleges, union hold early talks on contract

Professors at the state-owned universities hope that by getting an early start on contract negotiations, a settlement can be reached before the current pact’s June 30, 2007, expiration date.

Representatives from the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties met with State System of Higher Education officials last week to discuss negotiation guidelines and a timetable for talks that will begin this summer.
