NEWS The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 25, 2005 - 7 GEO Continued from page 1 from the older GEO and would continue to support the group because they all desire respect, living wages and benefits. Jeremy Phillips, a unionized University electrician, voiced his support for the union and its demands when he spoke at the rally. He and other electricians were unaware of GEO's planned walkout and its demands until early yesterday, he said. "I looked at the information and said, 'I make more (money) than (GSIs), and that's not right,' " Phillips said. He added that, because GSIs educate so many of the students on campus, they should be making a living wage for their work. GEO President Dave Dobbie said the union appre- ciated the solidarity that individual skilled workers, such as construction laborers and electricians, showed by not crossing picket lines. "An individual choosing to sacrifice a day's pay in solidarity helps us out a lot," Dobbie said. "(Delay- ing construction work) will make a huge difference in how seriously the University takes us." University facilities and operations spokeswoman the michigan daily Diane Brown said groups of GEO members had situ- ated themselves at the construction sites for the Bio- medical Science Research Building, as well as at the Cardiovascular Center site, before workers arrived and that some construction workers chose to honor the picket lines. "We had some reduced construction work occur- ring," Brown said. "We will still expect that buildings will be completed as scheduled." University spokeswoman Julie Peterson said the walkout affected a number of the University's aca- demic units, but that the impact was scattered. "LSA felt the greatest impact, but even (in LSA) some departments felt it more than others," she said. The walkout also brought support from graduate students who are not currently employees and are not directly affected by GEO's negotiations. "There is a lot of support from graduate stu- dents who haven't ever taught a class," said Kate Graber, a doctoral candidate who plans to teach as an anthropology GSI next year. She added that she has not been involved with GEO very long but feels strongly about the issues that will affect her when she becomes a GSI. Other GSIs said they felt strongly about certain issues because they affected them personally. Jessica Robbins, an anthropology GSI, said same-sex ben- efits were important to her because of her sister, who is gay. "I want for her to be able to have the same benefits and rights as me," Robbins said. Both Robbins and Graber said they appreciated all the support that non-GEO members were showing. While picketing, they had come across a plant opera- tions worker at a construction site who brought the picketers donuts and then left work for the day in a show of solidarity. Negotiations are scheduled for 1 p.m. today. Extended negotiation sessions were scheduled earlier this week in an attempt to avoid the walkout. GEO has indicated that it will consider a possible open-ended strike if the University does not bargain in good faith by offering counter-proposals. In last week's mail-in ballot vote, GEO members also authorized a strike on April 4 if progress is not made. If a strike is deemed necessary, a final vote by members, where the Uni- versity's last offer will be assessed, will occur before April 4. "(The) best thing to do is to focus on tomorrow and hope it's an effective discussion," Peterson said. DEAN Continued from page 1 College of Engineering in a good posi- tion to thrive. "His accomplishments have been quite extraordinary," Courant said. "His impact on the college will be something people notice for a long time." Director has served as dean for nine years, the third-longest reign of any dean of the College of Engineering in Univer- sity history. During his tenure, the college's student population increased by 1,000, and the annual operating budget grew from $186 million to $273 million. "He's basically managed the college through very difficult financial situa- tions," said Tamas Gombosi, chair of the atmospheric, oceanic and space science department. "The college is in very good shape." Director oversaw the foundation of the college's 11th academic department, the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Construction began on three privately funded buildings during his time as dean. So far, one has been completed: the Carl A. Gerstacker Building, which houses the biomedical engineering department. An expansion of the Solid-State Electronics Laboratory is scheduled to begin next month. No decision has been made on who will be appointed as interim dean. Cou- rant said he plans to appoint a search advisory committee before the end of the semester. He added that the interim dean will most likely serve for one year, until June 31, 2006. "It will be a time when we will obvi- ously need to regroup a bit and have a diligent search for a new dean," said Richard Larson, department chair of the chemical engineering department. "The college is a very large and well-run enter- prise. There will be a pause in the strate- gic direction, but Director's plans will be carried out." FALL 2005 NEAR KERRYTOWN! GREAT location!
