Faculty, Nippising University Reach Tentative Agreement
Poised to enter its fifth week, the Nippising University Faculty Association reached a tentative agreement with their employer on November 26, 2015, subject to the ratification of both faculty members and the Board of Governors.
The YUFA Executive was proud to support NUFA's efforts with a $2000 donation to their strike fund, not least because their grave concerns about university management's unilateral decision-making and the decline of collegial governance mirror our own. Their employer was very aggressive during the strike, and went so far as to shut down all faculty's university-based email addresses. NUFA President Susan Srigley recently published this account of the issues that led up to the strike on the website RankAndFile.ca.
