Administrative Information Provenance: Unknown Preferred Citation: Youngstown State University Chapter, Ohio Education Association, 2004.2, University Archives and Special Collections, William F. Maag Library, Youngstown State University, Youngstown, Ohio Restrictions: None Processing Processed by Brian Brennan, March-May 2004 Information: (with additional material added November 2005) Historical Sketch The Youngstown State University Chapter of the Ohio Education Association was founded in 1971. It became the sole organization for faculty advocacy in 1972, when the OEA emerged victorious in a referendum against the YSU Chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). Since its foundation, the YSU-OEA has dealt with many issues of faculty concerns, including: ? Collective Bargaining ? Fringe Benefits ? Retrenchment ? Retirement and Pensions 3 ? Workload ? Academic Freedom As the twenty-first century begins, YSU-OEA remains a strong force on campus and a clear voice for organized labor in the Mahoning Valley. YSU-OEA is an affiliate of the Ohio Education Association (OEA) and the National Education Association (NEA). Scope and Content Note The archival material contained herein includes the administrative records of the YSU- OEA, from 1971 to the present day. Included and the minutes of meetings, committee reports, financial records, and correspondence. Files that may be of particular interest include: ? The ?Poddar Case,? where a professor (and founding member of the YSU-OEA) was dismissed from his position, but only after a faculty-wide referendum regarding his fate. ? The Union Referendum of 1972, a somewhat acrimonious and heated election through which the YSU-OEA won its position as the sole advocate of faculty rights at Youngstown State University. ? ?OEA Local Elections,? a file which documents the surprisingly ?rough and tumble ?campaigns for chapter leadership.
