LCC Faculty Colleagues,

Your LCCEA Bargaining Team met with the College today and reached an agreement on the College’s plan to implement an Oregon residency requirement. The terms of the agreement are listed below. Essentially, the agreement postpones negotiations over this issue to our regular contract negotiations, which are scheduled to begin in February. The agreement ensures that any faculty member living outside of Oregon has protections and full assignment rights under the contract through the end of regular contract bargaining, at least. Any faculty member who does not have an up-to-date address on file with LCC must update it within ExpressLane by December 31, 2024 to preserve your rights and so that we can best represent you in future negotiations.

1. College may include Oregon residency requirement in new job postings effective immediately.
2. College and LCCEA agree to negotiate over the issue of an Oregon residency requirement in successor CBA negotiations.
3. Any faculty member who has an out-of-state address at this time, including any new hire for Winter 2025, shall not be required to live in Oregon until successor CBA negotiations are complete and an agreement about this issue is reached.
4. All faculty members shall have through December 31, 2024 to update their address with LCC.
5. LCCEA shall remove this Oregon residency requirement issue from the pending ULP complaint.
