Acadia welcomes students to conciliation process


For Release:  December 3, 2003


(Wolfville, NS) -  The negotiating team for Acadia University has invited the president of the Acadia’s Student Union (ASU) to be an observer in the negotiating process.

The University has been committed to providing students with accurate and up-to-date information. This is another step in the process.

Dr. Cy MacLatchy, Acting Vice-President Academic and Chief Negotiator for the University, has notified Dan O’Rourke, President of the ASU, inviting him to be an observer for conciliation.

Acadia University Faculty Association (AUFA) walked away from negotiations on October 20, 2003. Acadia and AUFA had reached a tentative agreement on July 9, but unlike the AUFA negotiating team, the AUFA executive did not recommend the agreement. A conciliator has been appointed by the Labour Board of Nova Scotia.
