Wright State University Board of Trustees Chairman Doug Fecher, President Cheryl B. Schrader and representatives from AAUP-WSU met to negotiate yesterday, Jan. 27. According to a press release, the meeting lasted around four hours. Administration and union representatives will meet again this evening, Jan. 28.
“I was encouraged by the progress made last night and look forward to continuing negotiations with the union. We value our faculty and want them back in the classroom as soon as possible," said Schrader. “I again thank our faculty, administrators and staff who are working hard to keep the university operating during the strike."
“We know these uncertain times are testing everyone's patience and thank the university community for its continued understanding and civility,” said Schrader.
Last week, Wright State administration asked SERB to determine if the union strike is unauthorized; the state ruled that the strike is legal.
