Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Gary Cook has denied a temporary restraining order sought by the UT Chapter of the American Association of University Professors at a hearing Nov. 1.<\/p>\n
In response to the University reorganization plan approved by the UT Board of Trustees in October, the faculty collective bargaining unit asked the court to issue the temporary restraining order to maintain the status quo while a grievance challenging the reorganization process proceeds through the grievance and arbitration procedure outlined in the collective bargaining agreement.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs resources diminish and more is expected of UT and universities across the nation, we must be firm in our belief that maintaining the status quo is not an option,\u201d UT President Lloyd Jacobs said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile we are pleased with today\u2019s court ruling, the challenge of reinventing the way this institution makes good on its promise to prepare students for success no matter their environment is just beginning,\u201d Jacobs said.<\/p>\n
A trial has been scheduled for Monday, Nov. 22, that combines the UT-AAUP\u2019s request for a preliminary and permanent injunction asking to halt reorganization while the grievance and arbitration process proceeds. Cook will preside.<\/p>\n
Jacobs said UT has the choice of leading the needed changes pervading higher education and should take advantage of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe live in a society constantly redefining itself. To succeed in such a dynamic world requires an education that is on the leading edge of these social, economic and cultural transformations,\u201d Jacobs said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe University of Toledo is committed to reimagining the way students receive knowledge and information so they can assume leadership positions in an increasingly globalized world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
