A state judge on Monday ordered Central Michigan University's faculty to return to the classroom, The Detroit News reported, backing a request by university officials for a temporary restraining order halting the strike called Sunday by the faculty union. In a statement posted on the Central Michigan website, university administrators said they expected "all faculty members will comply with the judge’s order immediately so the university can resume normal operations and we can provide the high-quality education our students expect and deserve." After one day on the picket line, sometimes joined by students, leaders of the Faculty Association said they would do so, but they said that their drive for what they consider a reasonable contract will not end. "We will obey the court order and return to work tomorrow," said Laura Frey, president of the union. "The faculty remains strong and committed to securing a fair and equitable contract for members."
