In one Letter from Dalhousie President Kim Brooks, she writes that the negotiations have not been easyBut those who make the university what it is are the faculty.
“In this spirit, the board offers a definitive proposal that tries to balance a fair compensation for the faculties with our responsibility to guarantee the financial health of Dalhousie,” it says.
It included an increase of 2 percent per year in a three -year agreement and continuous increase in career development and promotions. The letter does describe that the offer is in accordance with current inflation, but is not a reflection of the higher inflation of previous years.
