On Oct. 7, Concordia University and the Concordia University Part-time Faculty Association (CUPFA) made official their new collective agreement. Originally agreed upon and signed in English in June, the agreement was translated, and the meeting in GM 806-8 saw representatives from both sides sign the French version, thus validating the agreement under provincial law.
"We are very happy to have finalized this contract with CUPFA today," said Provost David Graham. "Part-time faculty members are extremely important to Concordia. With this framework in place, we're looking forward to a good working relationship in the years to come."
Retroactive salaries were paid to part-time faculty members in the Oct. 8 pay period. The agreement is in effect until Aug. 31, 2012.
