"The college's proposal is punitive in nature and is a blatant attempt to strip rights away while increasing your workload.
OFA members are subjected to disparate treatment. We are the only group whose workload is increasing.
Administration has guaranteed that morale will go even lower.

Bulldog Benefit Deemed a Success
CTA members stepped up to support a cause that affects many CCS students. Senior Morgan Thomas held an event to raise money for juvenile diabetes research. This was her senior project. The CTA community supported this event by playing in the "Bulldogs Bully Diabetes" basketball game, baking treats for the bake sale, selling t-shirts, and attending the event. There was a real sense of community at the event, and it was a great success.

DAS Releases General Letter Guiding FMLA
The 2017 SEBAC agreement made some significant changes to FMLA entitlements such as allowing sick accruals to be used for FMLA-Caregiver, allowing intermittent leave for State FMLA, adding 24 weeks of Supplemental Leave in addition to FMLA leave, and extending the bonding benefit for childbirth, adoption, or fostering.
DAS has compiled the various FMLA pieces and released General Letter 39 as guidelines for agencies/employees. FMLA was never an "easy read" so this General Letter does help navigate the process.
The updated FMLA forms can be obtained from the DAS website or via the A&R website under Resources | FMLA
