Colleagues,

Yesterday, the APSCUF-KU Representative Council addressed two motions
relevant to our current discussion on the quality of education,
working conditions, and governance at Kutztown University.

The motion to authorize a vote of no confidence passed. The final
vote was:

            45 yeas
            15 nays
              4 abstentions

A motion for a vote of no confidence in the APSCUF-KU Executive
Committee failed. The final vote was:

            49 nays
              7 yeas
              2 abstentions

The vote of no confidence will be held during the first week of
March. Specific details will be made available next week. We will
also be asking for volunteers to man the polling place. I will be
contacting the University Senate and AFSCME to solicit their help in
counting ballots.

We will also be scheduling additional public meetings to discuss the
substance of the bill of particulars. Specific times and locations
will be forthcoming as soon as they are available.

In the meantime, APSCUF-KU invites the president and the board of
trustees to recognize and constructively resolve the many problems
affecting our campus.
