The issues include measurable workload and faculty job security during financial exigency, administrative accountability for faculty positions and program changes, non contingent salary and benefits, administrative review of tenure and promotion decisions, and association legitimacy.
The association seeks a universitywide workload contract with jointly decided financial crisis responses, a fixed student faculty ratio of 28 to 1, protection of faculty positions and distribution input, guaranteed salary and benefit increases not solely state funded, pay alignment with peers, retirement incentives, extra compensation for non classroom work, limited administrative control over tenure and promotion, and a fair share fee provision requiring all unit members to pay union dues.
The administration argues workload policy should rest with department leaders while asserting the shared governance model works and faculty input shapes promotions. It notes the board of trustees sets financial crisis thresholds and outlines offers on tenure protections, salaries, and hiring across years.
Negotiations at Southern Illinois University Carbondale break down with a strike planned for Monday. Administration rejects binding arbitration and presents a package including pay raises and job security but opposes fair share dues and extra teaching positions. Faculty association signals study of the offer as governor Blagojevich's alleged support is disputed.
The proposal outlines pay raises tied to state funds, including a 1 percent raise in year two tied to appropriations, a guaranteed 2 percent minimum, and minimums of 2 and 3 percent in years three and four. It also commits to a 26 to 1 student to faculty ratio and pledges no layoffs of tenure or tenure track staff during a financial crisis for three years. The note cites Caleb Hale and attempts to confirm with Blagojevich's spokesman Billy Weinberg.
Eastern Illinois University faculty voted 212 to 40 to authorize a strike if negotiations with the administration fail. The UPI chapter at EIU, representing 634 faculty with 456 union members, is in federal mediation with the board of trustees. A strike vote could be asked 10 days after filing the intent to strike, but leaders say they hope to avoid a strike amid budget shortfalls and ongoing talks.
