Faculty Union Files Grievance Against U. of Toledo President

The faculty union at the University of Toledo has filed a grievance against the college’s president for revealing to some members of the Board of Trustees a reorganization plan that had not been discussed with the Faculty Senate, reports The Independent Collegian, the university’s student newspaper. The university’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors says the president’s recommendations violate the union’s collective-bargaining agreement. The association wants the president, Lloyd A. Jacobs, to “fully report and explain the restructuring to the Faculty Senate in written detail,” among other things, before the plan is submitted to the full board, on October 11.
