YUFA Executive Affirms Support of CAUT Investigatory Committee's Work

28 Jun 05 - Many YUFA members may have received an e-mail note concerning YUFA's involvement in the CAUT investigation of York. Although the e-mail was circulated by someone outside the Association, members should be assured that YUFA's Executive has unanimously passed the following motion:

THAT YUFA:

continue, without prejudice, to hold the Temporary Use of University Space grievance in abeyance until the Temporary Use of University Space Working Group reports and YUFA can evaluate its report with respect to the grievance;
undertake a letter to the Employer's Director of Academic Staff Relations indicating that YUFA is prepared to work jointly toward resolution of issues raised as a basis for the CAUT inquiry in various appropriate fora referenced within the Collective Agreement;
report progress jointly to the CAUT investigative team during its working term; and
refrain from interference with or constraints on the work of the CAUT inquiry other than as outlined in this motion.
