Grads at Oregon State seek membership information The university says release of graduates' information would violate privacy ASSOCIATED PRESS CORVALLIS — Members of the graduate student union at Oregon State University have filed an unfair labor complaint against the school, claiming the administration will not release full information on union member eligibility. The university will not release the names and employment informa tion of graduate teaching assistants to the union, claiming that release of that information would violate the federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act. Luke Ackerman, the outgoing graduate union president, said it's nearly impossible to operate as a functional union when it's unclear just who belongs. "We're really bargaining in the blind," Ackerman told The Corvallis Gazette-Times. "We have to be able to communicate with our members, and we don't know who are members are." Union members only include those graduate students who are paid to teach or do research at the univer sity that is not part of their work to ward a theses or dissertation, a dis tinction that can make tracking members difficult. The union is in contract negotia tions with the university to renew a la bor agreement that expired June 30. David Shaw, OSU associate direc tor of human resources, said the uni versity had been asking graduate students to sign waivers allowing them to release their information to the union. Ackerman said the university has offered to try to release some of the needed information in the form of directory information, rather than under the label of em ployment information to avoid violating the law.
