Press Release: College Administration and Faculty Association Reach Agreement

Pensacola State College Administration is pleased to announce that the Pensacola State College Faculty Association has ratified the 2013-2014 Collective Bargaining Agreement by a vote of 85-16. Negotiations have been underway since February of 2013.

“We are pleased with the outcome of the ratification vote. We know that we would not be the institution that we are today without the dedication and commitment of our talented faculty and staff,” stated PSC President Edward Meadows. “All of us at Pensacola State College will continue to focus on our mission of providing access to high-quality education and ensuring the success of our students.”

Highlights of the agreement include:
* 2 percent raise for faculty retroactive to August 2014

$60,000 to address compression
· an increase in most overload rates
· an increased number of teaching hours for some faculty within the 35-hour work week

* 4 percent increase to the base upon promotion with 4 years in rank required for promotion

The agreement will now move to the PSC District Board of Trustees for final approval during the monthly meeting on Feb. 24, where we anticipate it will be approved.
