Owens Community College Faculty Association Takes Pay Cut

Library workers, child care workers, counselors, and other faculty at Owens Community College in Ohio have agreed to a new collective agreement that includes salary cuts and the elimination of overload and summer pay. The college is under a fiscal watch after enrollment has declined significantly, and members of the faculty association have agreed to the reduction in compensation "in order to continue to provide this important education to students in our community", according to the faculty association president.
