The faculty association and the university had no progress toward a contract resolution Friday.

Both bargaining teams met for nearly five hours in Ronan Hall with State Mediator Miles Cameron. It was the first official closed bargaining session in nearly three weeks.

“Our FA Bargaining Team showed up ready to embrace Trustee Chair Opperman’s call to compromise,” said FA President Laura Frey in a press relesae. “Unfortunately, our FA bargaining team was met with the same administrative positions that would result in roll backs for faculty.”

Fact-finder Barry Goldman will release his non-binding recommendation for a solution in early to mid-November.

There are no more scheduled bargaining sessions at this time.

CM Life is waiting for a university response.
