Chapter Meeting, 7 p.m. Wed, Mar 29 Visual Arts Building, Room 125. The purpose of the meeting is to provide an opportunity for members and guests to discuss recent federal and state legislation and legislative initiatives, executive orders, and campus developments, with specific focus on their ramifications for academic values. If members have suggestions for the agenda, please send them to Chapter President Katherine Tachau. "In recent negotiations, the administration has refused to commit to providing graduate student employees with quality health care benefits in their next contract with COGS. [...] But the expected changes to Chapter 20 would affect only what unions like COGS can negotiate, not what employers can offer. Any uncertainty about future legislative changes has nothing to do with the ethical obligation to treat graduate students fairly." Collective bargaining protects workers and builds a stronger Iowa. Support Iowa's future by protecting collective bargaining by signing on to the letter to Iowa's elected officials and the Iowa Board of Regents. | Highlights and events from around the academic world
