AAUP-UD Statement on Outsourcing Bus Drivers' Function


The Executive Committee of the AAUP expresses grave concern with the University’s plan to out-source the bus service.  The proposed plan expects that the present University employees would be hired by the contracted service.  But there is no guarantee of that.  Further,  even if they were hired by the contracted firm,  the present employees would lose essential benefits of university employment such as tuition remission and pension that no outside contractor could match.  The plan ultimately mistreats long-standing University employees.  We urge the University to reconsider its plan.
