The Patriot News: Faculty, state take talks past deadline
Strike at universities postponed for a day
Classes at the 14 state universities will be held today as scheduled despite the uncertainty that surrounds faculty contract negotiations.
The faculty union agreed yesterday to a state mediator’s request to hold off on a strike to allow for one more day of talks.
The Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties’ contract expired Saturday. The union representing the 5,500 professors had threatened to strike as early as today if no contract were in place by yesterday.
