Reopener Settlement

AS-2530-01/FA - March 15-16, 2001

RESOLVED: That the Academic Senate of the California State University declare that settlement of contract negotiations is preferable to imposition and/or implementation; and be it further

RESOLVED: That the Academic Senate CSU urge the California State University administration and the California Faculty Association to reach agreement on 2000-2001 reopener issues without reducing faculty salary increases already implemented.

RATIONALE: A positive bargaining environment for resolution of year-round operation (YRO) issues and for improvement in the faculty collective bargaining agreement is much more likely in the wake of a reopener agreement than after two rounds of impasse and strained relations.
