COCC Faculty

Faculty at Central Oregon Community College may go on strike Monday, and attention is turning to how the college and students will cope if the walkout happens. The question dominating local discussion is contingency planning: what arrangements are in place for classes, grading and campus operations during a stoppage. Details of negotiations between the faculty union and the college were not provided.

Faculty at Central Oregon Community College are organizing a 'Last Chance Rally' as a strike deadline approaches. The rally is intended to show faculty resolve in contract negotiations and press for a resolution before any walkout begins. Details of the specific demands and the exact strike date were not included in the report.
