AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS

YPSILANTI, MI - Eastern Michigan University has approved four collective bargaining agreements with its professor, UAW and two different police unions. The university negotiated the deals with EMU’s American Association of University Professors, UAW Local 197, Command Officers of Michigan and Police Officers Association of Michigan. All four deals address pay and health care coverage. There will be changes to the monthly employee health care premiums next year, but those figures were not shared by officials. The same health care availability offered to the UAW union will be made available to COAM.

Dozens of protesters were picketing Thursday morning outside Oakland University.

Oakland University sent a message Thursday morning stating classes will resume according to the schedule despite the threat of a faculty strike.

On Monday, the University of Michigan announced it is joining Michigan State University in requiring face coverings indoors on campus.
