June 7, 2010: In the spring we conducted an on-line survey to collect information about faculty concerns regarding the recent negotiations and votes. The good response rate - almost 300 in total, reflects approximately a 38% response rate for F/T faculty and approximately 12% for P/L faculty. Here is the report of the results and a link to the survey results and complete listings of the comments submitted by members.

February 24, 2010: The official vote count confirms that faculty have narrowly accepted the Colleges' offer with 51.45% voting in favour.
As a result, the offer from the Colleges becomes the new collective agreement for the next three years.
