CALIFORNIA, Pa. (AP) — The faculty union at a state-owned southwestern Pennsylvania university has delayed a no-confidence vote.
The union at California University of Pennsylvania planned to begin voting next week, but decided Friday to delay that after meeting with the administration.
The vote centers on the university's interim president, Geraldine Jones, its council of trustees and three vice presidents.
Union president Barbara Hess says faculty members agreed to continue talks with the administration and hope "to resolve some long-standing issues."
Geraldine Jones was named acting president in May 2012, but the school is mulling three finalists to replace her.
Jones says she looks forward "to a continued exchange of ideas" with the union.
The school furloughed 16 non-union employees and eliminated an additional 14 positions in 2014. Seven non-union jobs were cut in January.
