As talks resume in an effort to thwart a faculty strike at the region’s largest post-secondary institution, Dalhousie University in Halifax is continually updating its 17,000 students in case a walkout occurs.

The school, which is resuming talks with the Dalhousie Faculty Association today and Friday, updated its website Wednesday to let students know what to expect in case of a strike by 870 professors, instructors, librarians and counsellors.

The Dalhousie Faculty Association has voted 83 per cent in favor of a strike.

Anthony Stewart, president of the association said the vote will send a message to Dalhousie University that the faculty is serious about getting a fair deal.

The biggest issue for the faculty association members is protecting their pensions.
