Board of Trustees approves ACE contract |
|
Jul 29, 2008
Ron Cole, 330-941-3285
The Youngstown State University Board of Trustees today ratified a new three–year contract with the YSU Association of Classified Employees. The union approved the new pact on Monday.
With the approval, the university’s two largest unions, representing more than 800 classified staff and faculty, now have new contracts in place as the start of the fall semester approaches on Aug. 25. The faculty union ratified a new three–year agreement in April.
During the last round of negotiations three years ago, both the faculty union and the classified union staged strikes before the contracts were settled.
“The approval of this contract is yet another reason to celebrate as YSU marks its Centennial year,” YSU President David C. Sweet said. “I want to thank the leaders and all members of the negotiating teams on both sides for their hard work and commitment to completing this process in a constructive manner and to improving the labor relations environment on campus.”
“This contract reflects a new era in labor relations at YSU,” said Ivan Maldonado, ACE president. “I want to compliment the administration and the Board of Trustees, as well as my own membership, for their hard work in seeking collaborative solutions. In the end, the students that we serve will benefit the most.” |

YSU awarded full continued accreditation |

Jul 9, 2008

The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools has awarded Youngstown State University full continued accreditation.
“This is a critical step in the academic future of the institution,” YSU President David C. Sweet said.
“While we have achieved much over these past two years, the continuing accreditation of the institution could be our single most important accomplishment. It is confirmation that the university is working well to serve our students and the community.”
The purpose of the regularly scheduled, periodic renewal of accreditation is to reconfirm that YSU is operating effectively within its stated mission and goals. The Higher Learning Commission is responsible for accrediting colleges and universities in a 19–state region from West Virginia to Arizona.
As part of the accreditation process, dozens of faculty, staff, students and community members participated in developing a four–volume, three–inch–thick report that outlines the university’s strengths and challenges in everything from enrollment and diversity to effective teaching and learning and engagement with the community.
The process was led by Bege Bowers, associate provost; Janice Elias, professor and interim dean of the Bitonte College of Health and Human Services; and Sharon Stringer, director of assessment and professor of psychology. |
