Greetings, Colleagues:

I hope your few days away from campus were restful and rejuvenating and included at least a moment to meditate on the historical crimes and ongoing injustices that frame the national conversation around gratitude.

Dear NTT Member, 

This is a reminder that we are holding an informational workshop on Tuesday, November 30 11AM to 12PM on Zoom (link below) to explain the NTT promotion process but more importantly, what needs to be submitted to your chair.    

The deadline to submit your materials to your department chair is no later than February 8, 2022.  

Promotion eligibility including the required number of FTE years can be found in Article 21.10.2 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Greetings, Colleagues:

Full disclosure: this is the first of a series of messages you will be getting in the coming days about how collective bargaining is unfolding. I get to kick things off but before long you will also hear from FSU President Steve Striffler, and also directly from our core bargaining team and contract action team.  It might seem like a lot, but it is—I promise—important.
