At its meeting this week, the BOR will move to impose interim terms for our contract.  Here is the BOR's staff memo.   It will include the three items on which we disagreed.  As approved by the state COHE Board, I will formally request the SDEA General Counsel to proceed on a lawsuit asserting an unfair labor practice on their removal of Intellectual Property as a bargain-able item.  

Also, as approved by the state COHE Board, I will seek to begin a new round of negotiations, with likely meetings February through May 2012.   I have prepared a list of items I have heard from members and others in the last year.   I discussed it with the SDSU Chapter last Thursday and will discuss it with others at Mines and BH this coming week.  We will schedule meetings at the three remaining schools for January.  We will also survey all COHE members and non-members on these (and possibly other) issues with a closing date around February 1, 2012.   Please be sure to complete this survey (once it is up and running) and encourage others as well.
