UCF BOT-UFF
Bargaining
During the summer and the start of the fall semester, several bargaining sessions have taken place between UCF BOT and the UFF. After the ratification of the contract for the term 2004-2007 in the spring of 2005, current bargaining is confined to Article 26 dealing only with salaries and salary-related issues such as awards (TIPs/RIAs/SoTLs) and discretion moneys.
The agreement also called for review of merit criteria by each department and for review of the promotion and tenure criteria in each department. Faculty committees in each department continued work on these items throughout the summer for department discussion at the beginning of this academic year.
