Dear colleagues,
Today nine members of APSCUF-KU Exec met for just over an hour with Dr. Cevallos and Dr. Vargas. Like Tuesday's meeting, the discussion was substantive, positive, and productive. A significant part of today's meeting was spent discussing the Early Learning Center, office space, and the need to build a new culture of governance and collaboration. I think it is fair to say that all parties left the meeting feeling we had made significant progress both in terms of tangible solutions and a renewed spirit of collaboration and frank discussion.
While it appears at this point that a joint statement will not be issued, we will email faculty sometime next week with the details of the discussion for their consideration. I want to be clear, the only reason that we are not sending out the details at this point is that we want both the President and Provost to review our notes to make sure that we are in agreement about the content of our discussions.
Overall, I think everyone at the table left today on a positive note, ready for spring break!
Best,
Kevin Mahoney
APSCUF-KU Exec

To members of KU-APSCUF Executive Council and all KU faculty:
The news posted by Kevin Mahoney is certainly encouraging in that both sides are exchanging views on the problems and concerns of both faculty and students. Let's hope that continued discussions will bring firm resolutions to the issues.
KU-APSCUF, and its leadership, are to be commended for their "grace under fire" and their commitment to seeing shared governance restored to Kutztown.
Best wishes for a successful conclusion.
Pat Heilman
