It has come to YUFA’s attention that faculty members who have offered to sit on at least one School of Medicine accreditation committee have been required to sign a confidentiality waiver before they can participate in the committee.
YUFA members have rights to sit on such committees and share information with colleagues as appropriate, and they are not obligated to sign confidentiality waivers. It is YUFA’s position that the Employer’s requirement is a violation of the Collective Agreement with respect to collegial participation of YUFA members in committees as part of their service roles.
