BGSU trustees ratify first faculty contract

After nearly two years of wrangling, Bowling Green State University has its first collective bargaining contract with faculty.
The BGSU Board of Trustees voted unanimously Friday afternoon to approve the contract already accepted by faculty members.
“This is both reasonable and equitable to the parties,” said Board Chairman Bill Primrose
The four-year contract covers retroactive raises, current raises, increased job security for non-tenure track faculty, governance, promotion and tenure, a grievance policy with independent arbitration, academic freedom, intellectual property, retrenchment, and a spousal/partner hire policy.
