WINNIPEG — University of Manitoba faculty have unanimously rejected an offer presented to them by the university, calling it an “insult.”
On Monday afternoon, University of Manitoba Faculty Association (UMFA) tweeted out the rejection letter, saying the “proposal shows [the] administration is out of touch.”
Late Sunday afternoon, the university handed the UMFA a settlement proposal. However it was rejected by the faculty, saying it did not address UMFA’s core issues, did not offer workload protection and ‘insults students.”
