United University Professions executive board has appointed Frederick Floss, an economics and finance professor on leave from Buffalo State College, as acting president of the 33,000-member union until an election is held in February to replace William Scheuerman. The unexpired term runs until May 31, 2009. Scheuerman resigned this week to take a job as president of the National Labor College in Maryland.
Floss, UUP’s vice president of academics, is a candidate for president of the 33,000-member union, which represents academic and professional faculty on 29 State University of New York campuses.
The board appointed Kenneth Kallio, an associate professor and psychology department chairman at Geneseo State College, as acting vice president for academics. Kallio chairs the union’s Elections and Credentials Committee and, like Floss, is a member of the contract negotiating team for UUP, the largest higher-education union in the country.
