CAUT calls Mount Saint Vincent’s delay tactics in signing collective agreement unacceptable

A previous version of this article contained an error in the wording of what was voted on at the 97^th CAUT Council meeting. This version has been corrected.

On November 29, the Mount Saint Vincent University Faculty Association (MSVUFA) and the university administration finally signed a new collective agreement, 260 days after ratification by the faculty association’s members.

Delegates at the 97^th CAUT Council meeting in Ottawa voted unanimously that the Mount Saint Vincent University administration acted unacceptably in delaying the signing of the collective agreement.

MSVUFA, which represents nearly 160 full-time faculty, professional librarians, and full-time lab instructors, secured the new contract after more than three weeks on strike.
