Dear Colleagues,
On May 11, 2011 the Government-appointed special mediator, Mr. Mark Brown, tabled his non-binding recommendations with respect to the two outstanding matters in the Vancouver Island University – Vancouver Island University Faculty Association labour dispute.
(To view the mediator's report, visit this link posted by the B.C. Labour Ministry:

The parties now have until May 21, 2011 to either accept or reject the recommendations of the special mediator.
On behalf of VIU, we will be scheduling a meeting of the Board of Governors for as soon as possible to arrive at a decision. In doing so, we will be guided first and foremost by the needs and interests of students and the vision and values of the University.
Once the Board of Governors has made its decision it will be shared with all of you.
Thank you.
Ralph Nilson, Ph.D.
President and Vice-Chancellor
