NEW

Game night cancelled
Due to many circumstances, but not because it isn’t FUN, we are canceling this Saturday’s game night at the CTU! Hope to see you next month on Saturday, November 8.

CTU Elections
October 28, 2008
7:30 am - 5:30 pm
MSU Auditorium

Specific information on the 2008 elections, including contacts, candidate forums, and rules can be found at https://www.msu.edu/~ctumsu/elections2008.htm.

For general information on CTU elections, click here.

The next raise for the nine bargaining units covered by the Health Care Agreement with the University will be 1.75%.

CTs will receive the increase as their general pay raise in April 2009.

This is definitely good news given the problems with the MSU budget and the State of Michigan’s economic woes. And we still have high quality health care with a premium-free choice.
