On Thursday, April 9, 2026, a team of UFMDC members met with President Madeline Pumariega, Executive Vice President and Provost Malou Harrison, Campus Presidents, and other members of the College President's Cabinet for a Labor-Management Meeting.

The agenda included items such as curriculum and textbooks for sociology, psychology, American history, and other General Education courses, overload assignments and procedures for exceptions to overload limits, selection of dual enrollment courses, and facilities for fine arts classes.

Each item began with a presentation from faculty, followed by discussion, clarifying questions, and proposed actions to resolve issues. Although the conversation included difficult topics and hard truths, a spirit of collaboration prevailed.
