Spring Clothing Drive

Now that Spring has sprung, it is time to clean out your closets! The Cincinnati State AAUP Service Committee wants your gently used donations. We are looking for Professional Men's and Women's clothing items. This includes shoes, purses and accessories. We will be donating the Men's attire to the Free Store Food Bank and the Women's attire to Dress for Success. There will be a clothing drop off in each division: BTD-Linda Schaffeld, CIT-Andi Feld, HPS-Cindy Kneip, H&S-Linda Romero-Smith and the AAUP Office. We will collect clothing until June 3.

AAUP Appoints Negotiating Team

The Cincinnati State AAUP Executive Team has appointed the Faculty Negotiating Team for 2008. Geoff Woolf will serve as Chief Negotiator. The other Faculty team members are John Battistone, Jason Caudill, Joyce Rimlinger and Dave Simmermon.

AAUP Chapter President Paul Davis said, "The Faculty team members for 2008 have a lot of bargaining experience, and they represent a range of perspectives, too. All of them have participated in training provided by National AAUP, and they all have contributed to the Chapter in many different roles."

Also at the luncheon, the AAUP Service Committee began a quarter drive to help children with transportation to and from school. Check out our Service page for more information.

Another event at the luncheon was the official launch of the online faculty directory. Over 40 members already had their pictures taken and filled out the information form for both the directory and this summer's negotiations. If you missed the luncheon, you fill out the form online and then someone will contact you about getting your photograph for the directory. If you prefer to print out the paper form and fill it out instead, it's available for download too.
