Dear  Students  and  Colleagues:



The  University  has  learned  that  the  UIS  United  Faculty  has  formally  filed  a  Notice  of  Intent  to  Strike  with  the  Illinois  Educational  Labor  Relations  Board,  as  they  indicated  they  would  do  yesterday  when  announcing  their  strike-authorization  vote.  While  this  action  means  that  the  union  can  opt  to  strike  any  time  after  a  10-day  waiting  period,  which  we  believe  to  be  no  sooner  than  May  2,  it  does  not  mean  that  a  strike  will  occur.</div>
