From our colleagues at Temple Association of University Professionals (TAUP):
On August 28th, after a year of negotiation, and a 12 hour marathon session, TAUP was ready to sign a Tentative Agreement for the faculty, librarians, and academic advisors at Temple University. Temple’s negotiation team chose to derail all progress made over our insistence on adding one line to the contract: “No academic professional or librarian shall be subject to discipline for utilizing their full allocation of ten (10) sick days.”
Nobody should be penalized for taking care of their health.
