KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (AP) - The faculty at the Oregon Institute of Technology has come to an agreement on a five-year contract with the university, ending a strike that had stretched into a second week.
Tentative agreements were reached on salary, merit increases and health insurance that includes Oregon Tech paying 95 to 97% of healthcare costs, the Herald and News reported this week.
Both parties agreed to new workload expectations that will allow faculty to spend more time with students and in the classroom, according to administration.
