Collaborative Problem Solving. In order to be able to address issues as they arise in a collegial, productive manner, the parties agree to a process for collaborative discussions between representatives of the College and the MCCEA for the duration of this Contract.

After obtaining and reviewing all relevant data, the small group would brainstorm possible solutions. After evaluating the pros and cons of various solutions, the best one or ones would be presented to the full group.
