The parties met on August 10th and in the morning discussed past practice and outside employment.  Considerable progress was made in both of these areas.  In addition, we discussed the University's indemnification policy for faculty as well as the AAUP's new proposal in this area.  We will be sending the University's insurance policy and proposal to an outside consultant and we will be discussing this issue further next week.  In the afternoon, the parties discussed layoff and
while there was no movement on either side, there was useful discussion on the issues separating the parties.
