Professors strike at 14 Pennsylvania stateWEST universities CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — Professors at 14 Pennsylva- nia state universities went on strike Wednesday, disrupting classes midsemester for more than 100,000 students after contract negotiations hit an impasse. The Association of Pennsyl- vania State College and Uni- versity Faculties announced its members went on strike at 5 a.m. because no agreement was reached with the Pennsyl- vania State System of Higher Education. The union repre- sents more than 5,000 faculty and coaches across the state. This is the first strike in the system's 34-year history. State-related schools — Penn State, Temple University, the University of Pittsburgh and Lincoln University — are not affected. The state said despite the strike, students should report to their scheduled classes, un- less the university indicates otherwise. "We are headed to the pick- et lines, but even on the picket lines, our phones will be on, should the State System de- cide it doesn't want to aban- don its students," union presi- dent Kenneth Mash said in a statement. The union includes faculty from Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indi- ana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Ship- pensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester universities. Coaches, however, haven't set a strike date. They can choose to strike with faculty, strike independently or not at all. The Pennsylvania state system is one of the largest public university systems in the United States. State fund- ing for the system, at $444 million this year, is about the same as it was 17 years ago, even as full-time enrollment has risen more than 10 per- cent. Around the state, faculty members walked picket lines, chanting and carrying red signs declaring "On Strike." At West Chester University, outside Philadelphia, dozens of professors, students and supporters marched outside the school. Picketers, many of whom were up most of the night watching strike developments, carried signs and chanted "2, 4, 6, 8, why don't you negoti- ate?" Victoria Tischio, a full-time tenured English professor and the university's picket chair, said some 500 of the universi- ty's about 950 professors had signed up for the walkout. About 77 percent of the uni- versity's professors are full- time union members, she said. "I got my education from state schools and, what moti- vates me to be here is that my students are every bit as worth that same quality edu- cation," Tischio said. "(State system negotiators) say this is a money issue, but we're real- ly out here for work rules and for students." The school's approximately 17, 000 students received an email from administrators re- minding them the university will not close.
