The Executive Committee met with Administration today to discuss the budget for fiscal year 2013.  Administration has informed us that they have been able to close the gap in the budget without us forgoing the 2% increase.

The Executive Committee appreciates the dedication and solidarity shown by all of its members.   We thank all of you for your continued support and will continue to update you as information is provided regarding the ongoing fiscal issues.

Due to the current financial crisis of the college, several senior staff members including Dr. Mora have met with union leadership. There will be a general membership meeting in the Walter Edge theater on Thursday March 8th at 12:30 pm to discuss the financial crisis. We will be broadcasting this meeting to Atlantic City and Cape May. It is strongly recommended that all union members attend.

Today your Union Leadership met with representatives of the College to discuss the budget deficit of the Institution. The College has informed the Association that every effort is being made to explore all avenues of cost containment. While this may cause concern, please be advised that your Union Leadership will be meeting with College representatives on a regular basis, and we will notify the membership as information becomes available.
