Pittsburgh Tribune Review: Pay, parental leave key issues for faculty in Pa. system talks

Negotiators for the 14 state-owned universities and their faculty union will meet Friday to begin working on a new contract.

“We are going to do everything we can to reach a settlement by June 30,” said Kenn Marshall, a spokesman for the State System of Higher Education. “It’s our hope that we can do that.”

The four-year contract between the system, which governs state-owned universities such as Indiana and Slippery Rock, and the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties expires July 1. The union represents 5,500 teachers and 350 coaches.
