this term, 624 will be receiving
bachelor’s degrees, 260 will be el
igible for master’s degrees, and 45
will be receiving their doctoral
degrees.
More than 10 percent of those
graduating — 139 — will receive
degrees in education.
“Our students make up a signif
icant portion of the students who
complete in the summer,” said
Marty Kaufman, the dean of the
college of education.
Many education students gradu
ate in the summer so they can earn
a master’s degree or teaching li
cense, he said.
And, he added, because most
educators do not work in the sum
mer, many teachers take Universi
ty classes during summer term.

hourly wage of $9.50 is the mini
mum salary needed to cover work
ers’ cost-of-living expenses.
She added the $30,000 cut-off
for receiving full medical insur
ance coverage penalizes higher
paid workers.
Other union members said they
suspect that the OUS has another
motive for offering more medical
coverage to lower-paid employ
ees. Cherie Smith, president of
the University OPEU chapter,
said the move is a typical “divide
and conquer” strategy. The idea,
she said, is to pit lower-paid
workers against higher-paid em
ployees so that not all union
members will vote in favor of a
strike.
While Smith said she is en
couraged by some of the econom
ic concessions the OUS has
made, she is concerned that with
so much of the discussion cen
tered on salary and benefits,
union members may let other as
pects of the contract proposal slip
by unnoticed.
For example, she said, proposed
changes by OUS would create
more temporary positions and al
low more jobs to be “contracted
out” to non-union employees,
which could result in layoffs of
regular classified workers.
OUS representatives would also
like to change the seniority system
for classified employees, Smith
said, which would make it more
difficult for workers to use their
experience to transfer to another
University department if their cur
rent position is eliminated.
She also criticized a proposed
change in overtime hours that
would only allow classified em
ployees to be paid overtime
wages if they work more than 40
hours a week. As it is now, work
ers are paid overtime for all time
over eight hours a day, regardless
of how many hours they work in
a week.

good,” Smith said. “But when you
start delving deeper ... there’s
more to it than the economic pro
posals.”
Bruce, however, dismissed
Smith’s argument that the OUS is
using a strategy to divide union
members. Lower-paid workers
are being given more medical
coverage because they need it
more, he said.
When the OUS contracts outside
workers, he added, it is for the
sake of being as efficient as possi
ble. And the change in the defini
tion of overtime hours is consis
tent with how most workplaces
pay their employees, he said.
“We think that we’ve put on the
table a fair package and a fair of
fer,” he said. “We would hope that
the union would move quickly
and favorably toward helping us
reach an agreement.”
Representatives from both sides
will go back to the bargaining table
on Aug. 22 and 27, when they will
meet with a state mediator to con
tinue contract renegotiations.
