Today marks two weeks since full-time faculty, lab instructors and librarians walked off the job at the Mount Saint Vincent University (MSVU).

The Mount Saint Vincent Faculty Association (MSVFA) says they submitted a proposal to the Board of Governors, February 13, that supports equity and fairness.

However, they are still waiting on a response on some major issues – workload, leaves and compensation.

President of the Faculty Association, Dr. Susan Bigham says she is ‘disheartened’ by the prolonged silence.

Bigham says she knows many members of the Board are committed to the Mount and their ‘values as a feminist University.’

She adds that she hopes the Board will encourage their bargaining team to continue negotiations that ‘consider our shared efforts to end this strike.’

More than 160 remain on the picket lines.
