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.
