Edmonton Journal: U of A faculty accepts six unpaid days

EDMONTON – University of Alberta faculty have agreed to take six unpaid days of vacation next year in exchange for the chance to review and critique previously confidential financial planning documents.

“It’s not a matter of having any sort of veto power,” said Walter Dixon, president of the academic staff association. “If we think it’s the wrong decision, we can actually say so before that decision is made so that there may be some sober second thought.”
