State-level community college coordination and governance structures are highly varied

across the 50 states. Some states have two separate governing boards, one for community

colleges and another for the other public higher education institutions; others have one higher

education governing and/or coordinating board for all public higher education institutions. A few

states have one statewide board that coordinates elementary and secondary education and also

coordinates community colleges. (Tollefson, Garrett, Ingram, & Associates, 1999).

Despite these significant differences in structure and governance, members of the

National Council of State Directors of Community Colleges (NCSDCC) are well-positioned to

comment on issues of …

The State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition, David Walsh

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

Members of SEBAC's unions have always supported being part of the solution to Connecticut's fiscal

crisis. In 2009 we provided nearly a billion dollars in savings to state taxpayers, by far the· most significant

contribution of any group toward solving the state's budget deficit. But we warned at the time that the deficit

would only continue to grow if elected officials tried to cut their way out of the economic crisis, instead of

focusing on rebuilding the economy· and providing jobs.

Advocacy At The State Level: Connecticut, Elsa Nunez

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

The financial realities we have dealt with in Connecticut and throughout our country in

the past year and a half have forced us to reevaluate the traditional relationship between college

administrators and faculty. In the most narrow, clichéd sense, administrators want the freedom

to make decisions and the faculty just wants to be left alone. The current economic crisis has

given us an opportunity to reexamine and forge a new relationship between our management

teams and our faculty ranks.

Late Embryogenesis Abundant Proteins Protect Human Hepatoma Cells During Acute Desiccation, Shumin Li, Nilay Chakraborty, Apurva Borcar, Michael A. Menze, Mehmet Toner, Steven C. Hand

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Expression of late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins is highly correlated with desiccation tolerance in anhydrobiotic animals, selected land plants, and bacteria. Genes encoding two LEA proteins, one localized to the cytoplasm/nucleus (AfrLEA2) and one targeted to mitochondria (AfrLEA3m), were stably transfected into human HepG2 cells. A trehalose transporterwas used for intracellular loading of this disaccharide. Cellswere rapidly and uniformly desiccated to low water content (<0.12 g H2O/g dry weight) with a recently developed spin-drying technique. Immediately on rehydration, control cells without LEA proteins or trehalose exhibited 0% membrane integrity, comparedwith 98% in cells loaded with trehalose and expressing AfrLEA2 or AfrLEA3m; surprisingly, AfrLEA3m without trehalose conferred 94% protection. Cell proliferation across 7 d showed an 18-fold increase for cells dried with AfrLEA3m and trehalose, compared with 27-fold for nondried controls. LEA proteins dramatically enhance desiccation tolerance in mammalian cells and offer the opportunity for engineering biostability in the dried state.
