FAM’s cross-examination of Associate Provost Cox: “Are you aware that most public universities in Ohio have a bargaining unit that includes TT fac, NTT fac, and librarians in the same unit?”
“Yes.” #FAMhearings
“Yes.” #FAMhearings
“Are you aware that at Cleveland State TCPL faculty just won professional leave with the support of TT faculty, and that was through the bargaining process?”
“I would celebrate that. I find that exciting. But just because it happened at CSU doesn’t mean it would happen at Miami”

“My concern is the differences in status, numbers, and workload.”
“Do you think your worry should override faculty will?”
“No, but I don’t know how many TCPL faculty signed cards. That makes me anxious.” #FAMhearings

Dr. Cox: “Administrators don’t always speak with one voice.” Lawyer: “But in a collective bargaining situation, administration would speak collectively. And if there were 5 separate units, the admin would still speak with one voice and the faculty would have less power.”
“Did you know that a number of TCPL faculty at this hearing do scholarship? How is the scholarship they do subject to lower levels of academic freedom protections?” #FAMhearings
Dr. Cox: “At another institution, the university might not renew a TCPL’s contract if their scholarship …. I think there’s potential that they could not be renewed based on scholarship.”
FAM lawyer: “And how is librarian’s scholarship less protected?” Cox: “It affords protection to TT faculty that is not available to NTT faculty and librarians”
