Members of the Brandon University Faculty Association voted overwhelmingly to accept the tentative agreement that had been reached Nov. 11 with the assistance of Mediator John Scurfield during their three-day strike. The four-year agreement features an increase in salaries averaging one per cent per year, one service increment in each year of the contract, three back increments and a signing bonus of $500 per full-time member. Other features include the right to privacy consistent with the traditions of academic freedom; the creation of a technology review committee; and, language to enhance the role and strengthen the status of departmental recommendations regarding workload assignment. The new contract expires in March 2002.
