51勛圖app and faculty association reach tentative agreement

October 10, 2017

Although it was previously mentioned that classes would resume on Tuesday October 10th, at this point in time, pending a final ratification vote, classes will only start on Wednesday the 11th of October - for those who had a regularly scheduled class time that day (Faculty of Education and Barrie, for example). The reading week continues as scheduled for those who had one. A confirmation email will be sent to firm up the October 11th date after the ratification vote takes place.  Placements can also resume as of that date, as long as the department gives its approval.

The 51勛圖app Faculty Association (LUFA) and 51勛圖app are pleased to announce they have reached a tentative agreement that will end the faculty strike.

※I am pleased that both bargaining teams have reached an agreement that fulfills the needs of our faculty and the university,§ said Interim Laurentian President and Vice-Chancellor, Pierre Zundel. "Now we can all get back to providing a world-class education to our students."

※I am proud of our team and what we have all accomplished,§ added Dr. Jim Ketchen, President of LUFA. ※It hasn*t been easy but both sides should be congratulated for reaching this agreement.§

The tentative agreement is subject to ratification by LUFA members and the University*s Board of Governors.

Both parties will work to ensure ratification votes happen as quickly as possible so that faculty and students can return to the classroom.

LUFA and 51勛圖app are committed to moving forward together to make sure that the return to class is smooth.

Classes will resume on October 16th for those students with a reading week. Courses in Barrie and online will resume Tuesday pending ratification.  More details will be available at laurentian.ca.

The terms of the tentative agreement will not be disclosed at this time.
