On January 29, the LEO-UM contract negotiations moved to the School of Social Work where most future sessions will be held LEO presented proposals on International Lecturers, Performance Evaluation and Special Case Appointments. The administration gave its proposals on the No Strike clause and Special Case Appointments. There was also a presentation on the UM-Flint budget. Once again, a large group of LEO members were in attendance, from LSA, Engineering, RC, Nursing, Art and Design, and Social Work. There were positive discussions of some of the union's earlier proposals, in particular on making Senior Lecturers an actual title, letting spring-summer teaching count as time towards major review (in specific cases), and doing something to avoid major reviews every three years in perpetuity. However, LEO members characterized as "ominous" three proposals generated in direct response to actions taken by LEO (or in one case by another union altogether). One member said, "they just don't want us to act like a Union."
