Further to the Principal’s email dated 8 February 2021 regarding vacation leave, I can confirm that the Association’s requested amendment to the vacation MOA has been denied and that the MOA will expire on March 31, 2021. As the Principal’s message states, members are encouraged to “do their best in fulfilling the MOA.” For some, this will be possible. For others, it will not be. It is my understanding that there is no intention on management’s part to put anyone on forced leave, and that this message is sent solely out of concern for faculty’s health and well-being. As such, the Association supports this message.

Yours sincerely,

Helen
