YOUCare Quickmed Clinic will provide screenings for adults and students.

The award will enable the center to develop and pilot two different STEM kits for students in pre-kindergarten through second grade to help bridge the gap between remote and in-classroom instruction.

Beginning this fall, KSU at Trumbull’s police academy counts as college credit.

YSU-OEA and the administration signed a tentative agreement Thursday. Next, union membership will vote on the agreement. If members vote to accept, the full tentative agreement is sent to the YSU Board of Trustees for ratification.

The raises in the deal were the ones offered by the administration in a release late Wednesday afternoon of which YSU President Jim Tressel said, “The terms of this offer, we believe, are such that we hope to resolve this contract today.”

Justin Jennings also said the YOU Care QUICKmed clinics are expected to open in November and will be able to provide outpatient services to students.

After spending more than eight hours at the negotiating table leading into the early hours this morning, Youngstown State University administration and the university's faculty union came to an agreement that ended the union's first strike in 15 years. 

This new back-and-forth comes as both sides wrapped up afternoon negotiations behind closed doors in an attempt to hammer out a deal as the YSU-OEA strike continues on Day. 3. Negotiations were set to resume at 9 o'clock tonight.

YSU student Theodore Bucci stood along Wick Avenue, holding a sign which read, "For Pete's sake pay your employees," a reference for the university's pandemic responsibility campaign, "For Pete's sake, protect your fellow Penguins."

The parties will continue negotiating from 1 to 4 p.m. today. Meanwhile, today is the first day back to school after fall break for YSU students.
