OU Looks Forward to Welcoming Students After Contract Settlement

Rochester, Mich. – Oakland University and its union-represented faculty reached an agreement on a new three-year contract today.

Terms of the new faculty contract won't be available until the full Oakland University Chapter of the American Association of University Professors membership votes to ratify the agreement.

"We are extremely pleased to have reached this agreement with our faculty," said OU's Interim Senior Vice President and Provost Susan Awbrey.

"With a new academic year beginning next week, it's an exciting time on our campus. Our students will benefit from the valuable academic programs we are committed to delivering, and from the teaching excellence our faculty provides."

The fall 2012 semester will begin at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 4.
