<p class="MsoNormal">Dear COE community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I appreciated your attendance and engagement today in our COE faculty and staff meeting. This is indeed a challenging time for educators, both in higher education and P-12. In today’s meeting we touched on some of the issues and challenges.
Thank you to our special guests from the Research Office, International Student Scholar Services office, and the Division for Graduate Studies for attending and presenting at today’s meeting. Thank you also to our UA stewards for providing updates.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The understatement of the month: There is a lot going on.
<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to draw your attention to additional information about the institution’s bargaining, including the update webpage and broader website on the various pressures facing UO that inform the bargaining. You have likely seen much
of this, but in the interest of providing information that reflects multiple perspectives, I share this with our community.
