A smaller group of pickets have been seen today at campus entrances as well as outside the Student Center.

Replacement professors continue to teach the classes in which professors are striking.

Dave Johnson, FA spokesman, said in a press release this morning that negotiations take place in the Wabash and Vermillion rooms on the second floor of the Student Center.

“The FA team is resolved to stay in place, in the Wabash room, until an agreement is reached, or they are instructed to leave the premises by the SIUC administration,” he said.
