posted on March 11: Tentative agreement for McMaster faculty

The University and the McMaster University Faculty Association (MUFA)
have reached a tentative agreement. Negotiations began late in December and the tentative settlement was reached last week.

In a joint statement, MUFA president Tom Davison and Joint Committee
chair and Acting President Peter Sutherland said, “We're pleased that we were able to reach an agreement that will provide stability for faculty, students and the University.”

The details of the offer and ballots will be distributed to MUFA members on the Career Progress/Merit plan by March 14. The Joint Committee has scheduled an information session for faculty on March 26 and MUFA is recommending acceptance. Faculty members will have until March 28 to return their ballots.

McMaster's current agreement with MUFA expires on June 30, 2002.
